1552.0. ""SNOW Job..."" by ASABET::VARLEY () Thu Mar 07 1991 15:31

    There's a great looking pond in Princeton, Ma. called Snow's Pond. I've
    heard good things about it, but there doesn't seem to be any access -
    except for a canoe (and THAT would be tough). Of course, I only know of
    one road that goes near it.
     Anyone have any info on this place ?

	Since I live right up the road from Snow's pond I guess I can answer your questions. o For starter's the pond is classified as private, meaning only those that live on the pond have water rights. Also no boats, motors, swimming,etc. o Secondly there was a concern that the pond should of been controlled by the MDC since it was felt that the water flowed in washusett res, and as fare as the MDC is concerned, its private property and owned and controlled by those who can afford a shore lot. The lots are going right now for around $250K if anyone is interested. o I also know that it is posted on the main road. o I also know folks who were excorded of the pond when they tried to fish it by the Princeton police and were informed that they were warned but if the trespassed again they would have to press trespassing charges since the owners are requesting that this occur. o I suggest you call the Princeton police before you put a boat on this pond, bet ya it will save ya alot of time and money. In the old days when Mr. Inmin owned it, I fished it with his permission. Only a row boat he owned did he allow on the pond. no motor's, gas or electric, or any other boats for that matter. Now I can't even fish it and I live right up the road! o I also know a sportsman club who use to have thier annual derby there but were told flat out last year no -way! How your friends got away with fishing it, very, very lucky I guess. Sorry I didn't have any good news but thats how it is now.. Stan
1552.2	Nobody fish in the middle	BPOV02::HART	Oh My Akin Bak	`Fri Mar 15 1991 09:34`	14
	The sign says " No Fishing " This means "lotsa fish in here" I remember fishin at the old Franklin resevoir, Dirty Ernie Delcart used to shoot at us with a shotgun full of rock salt. Some of the best bass fishin to be found in that pond. You needed to be able to run pretty fast though.
1552.3	Good Info.	ASABET::VARLEY		`Fri Mar 15 1991 10:42`	8
	Thanks, Stan. There is one place where it looks like you could put a canoe in, but I'm no poacher, so I guess I'll pass. I might talk with the Princeton cops, though. BTW, there is a restaurant up there called "The Little Chefs" that is FABULOUS !! Ask for one of Cindy's tables, she'll crack you up ! Good wine list too. --The Skoal Bandit

	Poaching?? I never looked at it that way .... I always catch and release anyway, but it seems to me that there are far to many places where you can't fish for no reason other than someone wanting to keep it all to themselves.
