People have been fishing the pond for weeks now. It is connected to Brimfield reservoir by the quinebaug river so anything can swim upstream to it. You can access it from locations on bridge pond road. You can also access the town beach side by parking near the gate on dug Hill road and take the long walk in. In the past I have caught tons of pickerel, a few small bass and some small calicos. During my last three visits, I caught nothing. I've had more luck on Hamilton reservoir just up the road and would recommend going there instead.
