Fish Finder

I got into backwoods trout fishing decades ago, after reading an article in a national outdoors magazine about a couple of state biologists who hiked into a remote pond in what is now the Siamese Ponds Wilderness Area. The author told of map-and-compass bushwhacking adventures and encounters with beavers, bears and huge brook trout. One of the story’s photos showed a trout too big to fit in a large frying pan. That was challenge enough for me. Over the years since, I’ve been to many remote ponds and experienced the same kinds of things, many times over.

A trip I’ll never forget was to a Warren County pond.
