Big Pond - Delaware County

[4everlaker]

Anyone ever fish Big Pond in Delaware County?  Found that body of water on the dec website and it looks interesting. 

"This pond receives a good amount of pressure all year long even for its location. Some very impressive catches have been recorded. Stocked annually with approximately 250-1000 brown trout 8-21" in length (most years it receives roughly 200-250 brown Trout 8-9" in length) and 250 rainbow trout 8-9" in length"

"American Eel, Rainbow Trout, Brown Trout, Chain Pickerel, Golden Shiner, White Sucker, Brown Bullhead, Pumpkinseed, Smallmouth Bass, Largemouth Bass, Yellow Perch"

Its a nice lake but good luck tryingbto catch anythijg out of there.  Nobodys been catching anything not even pickerel or bass.  There was a trout tourny there a few weeks ago and about of twenty or so guys only one trout was entered.  Theres some big trout in there but your gonna have to spend a lot of time out there to get one.  Id fish other lakes.

Thanks for the opinion.  Doesn't seem worth the 90+ minutes drive.  May have to swing easterly a bit and check Onteora Lake or Sturgeon Pool.  Not sure on the parking for Sturgeon Pool though.

No its defiantly not even worth a 20minute drive haha.  No clue about that.  Never fished there.  Id assume theres parking somewhere though
