One of the best parts of fishing is finding a “new” spot. A few weeks ago I was searching Google Maps and found a few new areas and one I stumbled upon was relatively close to a pond I had fished in the past. This new pond is kind of secluded and is about 1/2 mile hike from the road.
On this particular afternoon I had a couple hours to kill and knew I needed to check this pond out. With fresh snow on the ground I had my opportunity to get the small sled and pull my equipment to the pond. I knew it was going to be a hike, but what I didn’t know it is all up hill. After a ten minute hike with my sled in tow I reached the pond only to find it still had open water. Disappointed at first, I soon came to my senses and realized this pond is going to be something special, but it will have to wait for safe ice.
