North Pond in Box Elder County is a reservoir in Utah and covers about 2.2 acres, reaches about 12.5 feet at its deepest point and holds roughly 11.9 acre-feet.
The small size of North Pond makes quiet casts and short moves more useful than carrying a pile of tackle.
Fish and Baits
Fish listed for North Pond include Bluegill, Channel Catfish, Common Carp, and Largemouth Bass.
Start the bluegill search on North Pond by trying to use a small jig, worm, or tiny plastic around green weeds and protected pockets.
To begin with largemouth bass on North Pond, work a soft plastic, jig, or spinnerbait around weeds and protected cover.
To begin with channel catfish on North Pond, fish cut bait or a nightcrawler on the bottom along a channel edge or warm flat.

How to Read the Water
Make one shallow pass and one deeper pass on the same shoreline; that shows whether fish are tight to cover or using the first break; work an old channel turn, then keep one slow bait ready.
Season by Season
Spring runoff can add color and pull fish toward fresh water; green weeds and the first drop become stronger summer targets; in fall, follow bait toward points and shallow flats, while winter rewards a slower search; try the strongest cover, then fish isolated cover before a long empty edge.
A Simple Tackle Plan
At North Pond, a medium spinning rod, 8-pound line, a small box of jigs, a few crankbaits, and a simple bottom rig cover most situations; change depth or speed before changing every piece of tackle.
Record the wind, water color, productive depth, and cover after a bite; those four notes are more useful on the next trip than a long list of spots that did not produce; use a small lure when bites are scarce, then keep the presentation close to useful cover.
