Fish species in Shibley Pond

Shibley Pond is a reservoir in Wyoming County, but a dependable surface-area figure was not found. Dependable maximum-depth and storage-volume figures were not found for Shibley Pond, so neither should be estimated from a similarly named lake.

What to Expect at Shibley Pond

Without trustworthy acreage or depth figures for Shibley Pond, the safest approach is to read the water in front of you instead of assuming it fishes like another lake with the same name.

Fish and Useful Baits at Shibley Pond

Fish reported from Shibley Pond include black crappie, bluegill, channel catfish, largemouth bass, and yellow perch.

Bass

Low light favors a topwater or spinnerbait for Shibley Pond largemouth; brighter conditions call for a slower presentation beside cover.

Crappie, Perch and Sunfish

A soft-plastic minnow or live minnow placed beside cover is a sound crappie approach on Shibley Pond. For sunfish on Shibley Pond, keep a cricket or tiny jig close to weed edges and shaded wood. For Shibley Pond yellow perch, work a light jig slowly along the first firm-bottom break.

Catfish, Bullheads and Carp

Channel catfish in Shibley Pond take cut bait, nightcrawlers and prepared bait on a slip-sinker rig.

A Simple Fishing Plan for Shibley Pond

Make the first pass with a moving lure, then return to the most promising cover with a jig or soft plastic on Shibley Pond. Then check the original creek route, the dam end and any point on Shibley Pond that reaches toward deeper water.

When to Fish Shibley Pond

A sunny spring afternoon can pull Shibley Pond fish toward dark bottom, wood and new vegetation. Summer fish in Shibley Pond may feed shallow at dawn before settling beside cover or deeper structure. Cooling water can bring Shibley Pond fish back to points and banks where bait gathers.
