Turnout seemed lighter than last year, but it was good from what I could see.

Congrats mj and was a pleasure to meet you. Doesn't seem to be a very active pond for fish but the derby seemed to be very organized and a great setup with pretty good prizes well worth the trip.

Not a fast action lake by any means,but it's sort of my home away from home lake!
Having a camp there,and having had family there for many years,I have spent many hours of open water fishing there with good catches.
Through the ice it's a totally different!
As the kids board show we'd the bass both largemouth and smallmouth are there,as are trout,but I think the balance has changed over the last decade or so with bass making a large jump in numbers for some reason.
The schools of Fallfish and pond shiners we caught as kids seem to be gone,as are a lot of the frogs!
White perch and yellow perch are still there but seem to be smaller.
Not sure if natural selection is the cause or something else!
