FISHING

The Belgrade Bass, large and small mouth are world famous for their savage strikes and fighting qualities. The size and quantity of the game fish makes this region a high point of conversation among the nation's anglers. Bass fishing offers excellent sport from May 1st throughout the summer.

"Twelve Mile Long Pond" has been the focal point of the state controlled stocking program, creating excellent fishing from early spring until late fall. Our land-locked salmon are another of our fighting stars which may be caught all season, but are more plentiful during our spring run. Add to this Northern Pike, perch, crappie and pickerel. You'll agree that Long Pond is unexcelled. Brown trout, which are new to Long Pond have reached trophy size. Largest to date, 17 pounds 4 ounces.

OTHER INTERESTS IN THE AREA

We're within motoring distance to the shopping and entertainment areas (Antique shops, golf courses, movies, theaters). Local Protestant and Catholic churches are situated in the picturesque village of Belgrade Lakes. Other interests include bicycling across the countryside, hiking, and of course fall foliage drives.
