Goose Pond Description
Goose Pond is a 38 acre natural kettlehole pond with an average depth of 24 feet and a maximum depth of 52 feet. Transparency is excellent good extending to 23 feet, and aquatic vegetation is scant. The 0.87 miles of shoreline are wooded and sparsely developed. The bottom is composed primarily of sand. Summer trout water is present in a layer between 29 feet and 34 feet. Public access to the pond is provided by the town of Chatham. To get to this pond from Route 6, take exit 11 and go south 1.7 miles on Route 137. Take a left onto Queen Anne Road and head east for four-tenths (0.4) of a mile. The access is a dirt road on the right. This public right-of-way is suitable only for the launching of cartop boats and canoes. Electric motors only are permitted; no outboard motors are allowed. Fish Populations: contained largemouth bass, smallmouth bass, pumpkinseed, yellow perch, brown bullheads, brown, brook, and rainbow trout.
Goose Pond is stocked annually in the spring and fall with brook, brown and rainbow trout. Holdover trout are reported, indicating that the pond can carry trout through the summer. All the usual trout baits, lures and flys are effective. The sunken island or “hump” out in front of the access point is always a good spot to start fishing, as trout tend to hang on this structure during the spring and early summer. Shoreline anglers can target the trough between the shore and the hump.
