Gissberg Ponds (North) is a lake in Snohomish County, Washington.
Stocking records show that the following fish or strains were stocked here. A historical stocking does not by itself prove that a self-sustaining population remains today.
Gissberg Ponds (North) is a lake in Snohomish County, Washington and covers about 25.3 acres.
Gissberg Ponds (North) can be broken down in a few passes: shallow cover, the first break, and the deepest useful water.
Fish listed for Gissberg Ponds (North) include Bluegill, Largemouth Bass, and Pumpkinseed.
During a return to the best bank near a small drop where two features meet, use a small jig, worm, or tiny plastic around green weeds and protected pockets for bluegill.
During a low-light period near the first break beside useful cover, work a soft plastic, jig, or spinnerbait around weeds and protected cover for largemouth bass.
Channel Catfish, Cutthroat Trout, and Rainbow Trout have also been stocked here; that proves fish were released, but it does not promise that they are still common or easy to catch.
During a return to the best bank near the outside weed line near firm bottom, use wind as a clue; a light push can carry food toward a bank, but hard wind may muddy it, so look for a clean edge near a point or protected pocket.
While using a quick comparison of two banks near a protected point with light wind, early in the year, protected water and the first warm afternoon can be the best clues; as the water heats up, check deeper edges without assuming every fish is on the bottom; cooling fall water often makes points and firm banks useful again.
During a calm morning near a channel bend in clear water, 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.
During a steady fall day near a windblown shore in clear water, record the wind, water color, lure depth that worked, 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.
