Walden Pond Fishing Report

Walden Pond 3/25/12

Perfect conditions: cloudy, no wind, cold, just after the rain/drizzle ended. My kid and I drove out to Walden Pond and went to the first set of stone steps as you walk counterclockwise from the beach. That classic Walden water was clear and smooth as glass, and we saw many LMBs in about six feet of water,snubbing everything we offered them, from live worms to plastics. Moved downshore a bit to a more open spot, saw a hefty brown trout only a few feet from shore, snapping at bugs. Made me wish I'd brought my fly rod! Can't wait to come back and give it another go.
