Pomps Pond Description
This 17-acre natural great pond is located one and one half miles south of Andover center. This kettle pond is rather shallow, having a maximum depth of only 9 feet and an average depth of 4.5 feet. The dark brown water has a transparency of only 2 feet. Aquatic plants are common and abundant, dominated by water lilies and pondweed. Public access for shore fishing is very good along the eastside since the town owns most of the shoreline. A marsh on the west shore and boggy inlet and outlets preclude angling in these areas. Boats are limited to canoes and car top boats, which can be carried over undeveloped portions of the town beach. Yellow perch, bluegill, black crappie, golden shiner, brown bullhead, pumpkinseed, chain pickerel, largemouth bass and American eel can be found here.
This small pond can be easily over fished, as our bass and pickerel samples indicated. However there are large stocks of yellow perch, bluegill, brown bullhead and pumpkinseed, which are only lightly fished. Many of these individuals are of nice pan size. This is a beautiful area to take the kids for a few hours of fishing on a summer evening.
