It's summer time and warmwater fishing on the North Shore of Boston has been fantastic. Visited a local trout pond and discovered an abundant and healthy resident centrarchid population; the angling was outstanding too. And all of it in a beautiful place only ~15 minutes from Ichthyographic central. Supposedly holdover and stocked trout in the fall; its on baby.

Using Google Earth, I found a series of 2 ponds 1.3 miles from my living room; Holly (my one year old and
local fishing guide) and I took a little stroll (literally) and found another fantastic spot to catch all manner of finned quarry. Bank access and fly casting room in abundance too.

I love summer, how about you?
Nice...well done! Looks like a fun little trip.
ReplyDeleteThanks Sanders, it was a lot of fun and I might just head back up there today...that is, of course, if the rain will stop for while.
ReplyDeleteSome nice slabs there!
ReplyDelete(By the way, I can send you some more info about building a pram, since I don't know when I'll get around to making a new Angler's Culvert post - do you have an e-mail address you can provide?)
