The fishing can be tough here. I have caught more smaller bass than larger ones. I did catch a nice sized trout in deep waters on a hot day...wacky rig. If I'm not catching then I'm taking in the scenery and enjoying the solitude.

Tough pond to fish, but they are in there. I recently saw a fisherman with an 8lb 11oz bass. I caught a nice rainbow trout in a deep area on a wacky rig. Beautiful pond to explore.
