Fished Gates Pond? Not that I'll admit to. Gates Pond is/was Hudson's
reservoir and has been closed to fishing for at least 30 years (which royally
annoyed those of us who lived in Berlin.) It's a beautiful spot, but has been
strickly off limits. When I was there it was plain there was no fishing
allowed, but whereas you didn't notice the signs perhaps things have changed.
You might check with the Hudson water dept...
Years ago you could see the bait fish teaming in the water and the word
in the ball-yard was that there were some lunkers in there, but who knows for
sure;-);-)

| I wonder why they do that. Kenoza Lake in Haverhill was the same
thing. They actually had a lottery for a one time fishing trip in
Kenoza a couple years ago though.
Lake Massebesic is Manchester's drinking water, yet they allow fishing
and boating in it. You just can't touch the water with bare skin in any
way.

| Al,
Yes, there are signs all over the place saying NO FISHING, HUNTING,
picking your toenails, etc... but I thought that you could get a
special linces from the town hall??

The silly part about it all is that the dairy cows from farm on the west
side of Gates pond use it as a watering hole. I'm still trying to figure out
how they teach the cows not to use the pond as a toilet;-);-)
