Flint Pond Description
This shallow, 61-acre former millpond is located just west of the junction of Routes 3 and 113. It has a maximum depth of only six feet and an average depth around four feet. As would be expected with any small, very fertile pond of this depth, aquatic vegetation is very abundant. The shoreline is undeveloped and owned by the Division of Fisheries and Wildlife, so access is not a problem and the scenery is relatively pretty. Boat access is provided by a paved public ramp located on the pond’s northeastern tip, just off Route 113 (Kendall Road). The parking lot has space for 20 vehicles and is rarely crowded. Fish Populations: largemouth bass, chain pickerel, bluegill, pumpkinseed, yellow perch, brown bullhead, yellow bullhead, golden shiner and white sucker.
White suckers and bullheads have long dominated this fishery, but the largemouth bass fishing has shown considerable improvement in recent years and it is well worth a visit. Other than in the spring, a boat or canoe is highly recommended, as heavy aquatic weed growth makes it virtually impossible to fish effectively from shore. This pond is a good bet for ice fishing, for although they are not abundant, there are some good yellow perch and pickerel in this water.
