Principal fisheries: Largemouth bass
Mud Pond is a small warmwater pond with the
bottom a virtual 'carpet' of thick mud. This mud
bottom allows for extensive growth of aquatic
plants.
Fisheries biologists chemically reclaimed
the pond in 1970. The initial survey, in 1969,
revealed no spawning or nursery habitat, but water
quality data suggested adult brook trout might
survive to provide a fishery. The first stocking
of brook trout occurred in the spring of 1971 and
continued for a number of years. Unfortunately,
the progr~ was terminated when an acceptable
fishery was not established.
Mud Pond has populations of a number of warm
water fish species, with largemou~h bass providing
the principal fishery. pickerel and yellow perch
are very numerous but their small size making
these fisheries unattractive.
Access to Mud Pond is easiest during the ice
fishing season, a maintained snowmobile trial
leads directly to the pond. Summer access is over
a private un-maintained road; anyone wishing to
use this road should contact the landowner.
