SUMMARY :

Surprisingly, this pond had a fair amount of motorized boat traffic today, despite a restriction posted at the pond prohibiting this. This boat traffic was pleasure craft and was most notable around the deeper areas of the pond. This caused me to fish the shallows where I found no large gamefish. This is definitely the type of conditions where you need to use the lightest equipment in your arsenal in order to get any sport out of such small fish. This pond is very clear and clean and I was actually able to see the yellow perch in thick schools just under my boat.
