Bring
your pole and GO FISHING....
This pond offers good fishing for an
assortment of warm water fish species. The chain pickerel and
largemouth bass populations display excellent health, and many
individual bass sampled ranged in size from 12 inches to over 22
inches. Yellow perch fishing should be excellent year round, as
these fish are abundant and of good average size. This pond has
also been stocked with northern pike and should currently have
individual fish approaching 20 pounds or more (legal size is 28
inches).
