What's the deal?

[Shawn Johnson]

Does anyone have any consistent tricks that work at the pond. About to give up on it, tried a variety of different times, baits, locations on the pond and none of it has worked. Hints, help?

The only thing in this pond is stocked trout...

Give up on it and do what Shane says. I know a place with native cutts about 30 miles from there. PM me and I will give you the location and if you don't catch cutts you'll probably catch bluegill and bass.

TT and Shane are right.

Actually there ARE other fish species besides trout in JCP. They are mainly just stunted bluegill and crappie. However I do not believe JCP has been stocked in recent months and will probably not be stocked until Dec-Jan with brooders. So your best bet would be some other water bodies. But if you would like some tips on fishing there gives us an idea what kind of gear your using

If there are other species they are very few and far between. I soaked night crawlers there earlier this year with my parents and its just a stocker trout show.

I have witnessed and caught small bluegill and also crappie on flies out there.. I do agree they are few and far between. Altho if you drop some small flies under an indicator near the highway side around those bushes you can find em... pretty much where the bushes over hang jcp.
