Fish species in Bradys Run Lake

Official stocking history

Stocking records show that the following fish or strains were stocked here. A historical stocking does not by itself prove that a self-sustaining population remains today.

Bradys Run Lake covers 25.93 acres in Beaver County. Dependable maximum-depth and storage-volume figures were not found for Bradys Run Lake, so neither should be estimated from a similarly named lake.

What to Expect at Bradys Run Lake

At 25.93 acres, Bradys Run Lake is small enough to fish methodically but large enough for one shoreline to differ from another.

Fish and Useful Baits at Bradys Run Lake

Fish reported from Bradys Run Lake include black crappie, bluegill, common carp, largemouth bass, smallmouth bass, walleye, and yellow perch. Channel catfish and rainbow trout are also stocked in Bradys Run Lake.

Bass

A spinnerbait, square-bill and Texas rig cover the most useful largemouth situations on Bradys Run Lake. Use a tube, Ned rig or small swimbait for Bradys Run Lake smallmouth where firm bottom meets deeper water.

Crappie, Perch and Sunfish

Crappie at Bradys Run Lake respond to a small jig or live minnow beside brush and suspended cover. Use a tiny jig or natural bait under a float when fishing Bradys Run Lake for bluegill and related sunfish. A small minnow or worm on a light rig fits yellow perch fishing at Bradys Run Lake.

Walleye and Larger Predators

For Bradys Run Lake walleye, follow the old channel with a jig or pull a crankbait across the first sharp break.

A Simple Fishing Plan for Bradys Run Lake

Start with the best-looking shallow cover during the first hour, then move to the nearest drop if the bank is quiet on Bradys Run Lake. Then check the original creek route, the dam end and any point on Bradys Run Lake that reaches toward deeper water.

When to Fish Bradys Run Lake

Early spring on Bradys Run Lake calls for a slow presentation near the first break outside protected water. At midday in summer, Bradys Run Lake anglers should slow down beside shade, weeds or a nearby depth change. Fall on Bradys Run Lake is a good time for small crankbaits and swimbaits around moving forage.
