On Labor Day, we took the kids for a picnic at the Sudbury Grist Mill. I took my rod with me because one time I notice a guy fishing the brook about 10 years ago and he was catching small Bass. I've also seen small Sunfish and even a Hornpout swimming in the brook.
I took a few casts in the lower brook and caught a very small Llargemouth, about 6" long. Then up top at the pond I caught 2 more Bass. One was about 11" and the other was a little over a foot and probably a solid pound. A decent catch on 4lb test. The kids were amazed at the fish. They all wanted to touch it.

- I fish. When permitted, I will fish in almost any body of water (fresh or salt) using almost any method; Bait, Spin, Ultra-light, Ice, Pier, Surf, Boat, Canoe, you name it & I'll do it. I also support catch and release. (Unless it's simply too big or too dead to release)
Would you drive on this road? We did.
This is the Lake Champlain shanty road in Port Henry, NY. 12+ inches of water on top of the ice. This picture was taken over a mile from shore.
