Huntington Pond is a great fishing spot in Connecticut, USA. The pond is home to a variety of fish species such as largemouth bass, northern pike, yellow perch, black crappie, and sunfish. Besides fishing, visitors can indulge in activities such as hiking and picnicking in the nearby Housatonic State Forest. To increase your chances of catching fish, try using live bait or lures that resemble the natural prey of the fish you are targeting. The best time of year to visit is from May to October, with temperatures ranging from 65°F to 80°F.
It is an abundant species and is important both commercially and as a sport fish. Black crappies are easily caught, often as fast as the hook can be rebaited. The following are fishing methods used to catch this fish: Though they show a definite family resemblance, they are distinctive enough that they shouldn’t be confused with any other species. The black crappie and the white crappie are most often confused with each other. Despite their common names, both species are the same color (dark olive or black dorsally with silvery sides) and both have spots on the sides. However, the pattern of the spotting is distinctly different. In the black crappie the spots are more or less irregular and scattered while in the white crappie the spots may be more vague and are clearly arranged into 7-9 vertical bars on the sides. Another distinction; the black crappie has 7-8 dorsal spines while the white crappie has only 6, the same number as in its anal fin. In body shape the black crappie’s is somewhat deeper than the white crappie.
