Last weeks edition of the New England Fisherman, did an article regarding "South Pond", which according to their map, was near Sturbridge. I have searched the Atlas and can't find such a pond/lake. The write up on it, looked like it had very good ice fishing potential. Has anyone ever fished it? Can someone provide directions? How about some other info ie; Good locations to fish, where to park etc etc etc. Appreciate any input Dave

Dave, look on a map in brookfield. South pond is connected to the south end of Quaboug pond and it's real name is Quanacumsett [I know thats not right] but you get the idea,an indian name. It's a very deep pond noted for good bass, pike and trout fishing. It's off of RTE. 49 [PODUNK PIKE] but hopefully someone who knows the street names can take you from here. wayne | |||||

I think the name is closer to Quinopoxet, though I know that's not right either ;-) 8 lb browns my arse :-/ more like 1-2 lbers. Though legend has it the deep water is a good place to fish for bigger ones. Never had much luck ice fishing there, though I never put much time in. Spring trolling for trout is good though. One way to get there is to turn off Rt 9 at the Clam Shack in Brookfield (which is abotu a mile or 2? west from Rt 9/49 intersection if coming from Rt 20) Follow that winding road for 1-2 miles and you'll see Quabog pond on the right. Proceed past Quabog and take your first right. Follow that road and take your first right again. South will be on your left. Parking and a ramp are after the bridge. It's not the most direct way, but it's the easiest way for me to explain it. Ken | |||||
