Got out on the ice on a private pond a week before the warm weather blew in, got a 15" rainbow. Gonna try (again) to hit some unusual spots not fished much (or at all) like the Park River in Hartford. So on that subject, I have a question. Not looking for anyone to give up a secret hot spot but I found a small pond in Tunxis forest off West St. in West Hartland. Its on the map as Foster's Pond. I hiked in during deer season just to see what it looked like (jumped 3 deer). Its a good hike in and not easy to get to. Pretty little pond with a small island. Most of the shore is pretty choked up and getting a kayak or canoe in there would be a chore. Spoke with one guy in the area and he hadn't fished it but heard its quite shallow and loaded with mattresses of weeds. Anyone know anything about it? Its not far from Howells Pond which has a small boat launch and much easier to get to. But this Fosters pond looking interesting if you're willing to work for it.
