Fish and Useful Baits at Haig Pond
Fish reported from Haig Pond include black crappie, bluegill, channel catfish, largemouth bass, and yellow perch.
Bass
When largemouth bass hold tight to cover on Haig Pond, a compact jig or weedless worm is more useful than repeated open-water casts.
Crappie, Perch and Sunfish
For Haig Pond crappie, hold a 1/16-ounce jig or minnow beside wood instead of dragging it through snags. Bluegill in Haig Pond are practical targets with a worm or small jig suspended beside shallow cover. Yellow perch in Haig Pond are commonly caught with a small jig tipped with a minnow or worm near bottom.
Catfish, Bullheads and Carp
After dark, try a nightcrawler or cut bait near a channel turn when fishing Haig Pond for channel catfish.
A Simple Fishing Plan for Haig Pond
