Somebody must fish the place................

I dont know the place but i do know they used to have a derby there so there must be parking somewhere. maybe try google earth and look at it from a birds view.

Have you fished Burns or Forest lately?  These two are on my list of ponds to revisit from my younger days.  Used to fish these two alot along with Martin Meadow.

Finally someone with a question i can answer definitively.
  Parking is not an issue at moore dam.  I have lived in littleton my whole life and know the area well, Parking spots are as follows, i will give the road names so you can just get directions from one of the map sites:  Nockys landing is at the end of the Old Waterford Rd. Littleton,  there's a landing at the end of Hilltop Rd. Littleton.  there is parking across from the junction of Partridge Lake Rd. and Rt 18,    More parking a mile further on RT.18 at the dam itself.  All of these spots are plowed out.
Be very careful getting on and off the ice. The water levels change so much that the edge keeps getting busted up and refreezing but once away from the bank there is plenty of ice.
If you have a sled or are willing to walk i could point you towards a couple of spots that might be more productive fish-wise than those mentioned above. On the other hand if they stocked tagged trout it was almost certainly from one of those landings.
Good luck BD

Ahh, I should read more carefully. if you just want to fish the Bethlehem area pre-tourney there are far better places to go than moore dam.  That is unless you want to catch the next state record northern, then the dam is a good bet.  I would agree that Burns and Forest are both productive warm water fisheries with Forest being my preference for ice fishing. I've been out there twice this year and caught a mixed bag of perch, pick, and bass at one point had four flags go off at once (no #$%^) and didn't stop running around 'til the bait was gone.  I also like the chain of ponds starting with Partridge Lake and ending with Ogontz there are big pike and smallmouth throughout and Ogontz has some good browns. If you want more specific info I'll be happy to help you out. BD

bluefingah Im interested in the pike and browns would like to catch my first in both would like to Know a little more about locations you mentioned for later trips out

Hey BTB if I wanted to spend a day fishing up here for browns and northerns i would hit Ogontz lake for trout or drive up the road to Dodge pond for the pike. Ogontz does have pike but they seem to bite better at Dodge. These ponds are on the Lyman rd. in either Lisbon or Lyman the town line is right around there somewhere. Both of these lakes have excellent jigging for yellow perch if you can find them feeding you can often fill a limit in a couple minutes.  Let me know if you come up and how you do. BD
