Fish and Useful Baits at Thomas Pond

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

Bass

When largemouth bass hold tight to cover on Thomas Pond, a compact jig or weedless worm is more useful than repeated open-water casts.

Crappie, Perch and Sunfish

For Thomas Pond crappie, hold a 1/16-ounce jig or minnow beside wood instead of dragging it through snags. Bluegill in Thomas Pond are practical targets with a worm or small jig suspended beside shallow cover. Yellow perch in Thomas Pond are commonly caught with a small jig tipped with a minnow or worm near bottom.

Catfish, Bullheads and Carp

For Thomas Pond channel cats, place cut bait or a nightcrawler along the creek channel and give the bait time to work.

A Simple Fishing Plan for Thomas Pond

When to Fish Thomas Pond

On Thomas Pond, spring fish often move onto protected banks before the open basin warms. Summer fishing on Thomas Pond is usually best at low light, beside shade or along the outside edge of healthy cover. During fall at Thomas Pond, revisit creek mouths and main points with baitfish-sized lures.
