Bass

For Meadow Run Ponds largemouth, use a shallow crankbait or swim jig to locate fish, then slow down with a jig or soft plastic.

Catfish, Bullheads and Carp

Channel catfish in Meadow Run Ponds take cut bait, nightcrawlers and prepared bait on a slip-sinker rig.

A Simple Fishing Plan for Meadow Run Ponds

Check the incoming-water end and the dam side before settling into a pattern, since they often fish like different lakes on Meadow Run Ponds. Then check the original creek route, the dam end and any point on Meadow Run Ponds that reaches toward deeper water.

When to Fish Meadow Run Ponds

Early spring on Meadow Run Ponds calls for a slow presentation near the first break outside protected water. At midday in summer, Meadow Run Ponds anglers should slow down beside shade, weeds or a nearby depth change.
