A pond in Katahdin Iron Works


I headed out the door about 4:40 this morning. I decided to randomly pick a pond up in K.I. and hit it. I hit the gate right at 6am and headed to the pond. The pond has a short walk in, and it took me a while to find the trail, so it was a little after 7 when I finally reached shore.


There were a bunch of boat stashed on shore, so I took that as a good sign.


It was very windy, and I blew around the pond in my float tube alot!!! After a couple hours I still hadn't caught any fish. I decided to go to shore and stretch my legs. I was kicking through a shallow weedy cove and casting as I went, when I finally got a fish.


I kept getting fish right in the clumps of lily pads.


I would like to say I caught some lunkers, but 8 1/2 inches was preaty much the max. Even so, it turned out to be another great day in the Maine woods!!!!!I also has the bonus of seeing several moose and deer, plus I did some recon on some other ponds so I wont have to waste time trying to find the trail next time!!!!!!!
