Rainbow trout are regularly stocked in the spring. There is also a good warmwater fishery in the late spring and summer months with bluegill, crappie, perch and largemouth bass in the lake.
The best fishing for trout is in spring and early summer. Vernonia is occasionally stocked with adult hatchery steelhead in the winter.
Tackle & Techniques: Standard trout and warmwater fishing techniques work well in the pond. Cast spinners or use worm and bobber or PowerBait set ups for trout. Worm and bobber, rubber grubs, jigs and bass lures work well for warmwater fish.
Vernonia Pond is located on the south edge of Vernonia on Hwy 47 between Hwys 26 and 30. Take Hwy 26 west toward Seaside and follow the signs to Vernonia (about 43 miles from Portland).
