Powder Mill Pond - Bennington, NH Fishing Report

When Hiking Turns Into Fishing.

A great day dodging thunderstorms and exploring unused train tracks.
Very glad I always carry a fishing rod and tackle and had the good sense to pick up some bait.

1911 Steel Girder Bridge Catch

Type of Fish: Calico Bass(Black Crappie)
Fish Length (Avg): 8 inches
Fish Length (Max): 12 inches
Bait Type: Nightcrawler Check Prices
Bait Details: Neon Orange 2-way spinner hook.
Location Details: After the 4 Crappie and one large Bluegill (which I don't record), I hooked one of the largest Largemouth Bass I have seen in awhile... Sadly he snapped my line less than 2 feet from shore.
I can't even hazard a guess as to size but he snapped 8lbs test with no problem at all... oh, the ones that get away!
