I took the kids to the Mill Pond tonight after work, they were begging me to go.We dug a quick ½ dozen worms from the compost and headed down to the pond.
In all the years I’ve been fishing the mill I have never, ever, seen the water level so low. So low!
There is now an exposed elevated transport from, probably from some type of steam, water, or possibly train/cart track from years ago. The water was extremely green in color and we noticed a dead Mallard, things did not look good. Worms and a bobber did not even produce a single bite. I on the other hand was casting a #1 Mepps Aglia and landed what could have been the smallest Bass I’ve ever seen.

- 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.
