I haven't fished there is many years but it was an outstanding place to catch "slab-sized" calico bass [black crappies] - some of the biggest I've ever seen in MA. An old fishing buddy of mine (who moved to California some time ago & I've not been back to Little Chauncy since he left) and I "discovered" that by accident when we were flyfishing with bass bugs & streamers for largemouths: the calicos were CLOBBERING them. We had so much fun nailing these big "slabs" that we forgot about the largemouths completely & just concentrated on the calicos .
Conditions had been perfect that day: cloudy, calm - no wind at all - and mild temps.
Big calicos are probably still present; try a flyrod & streamers if that's in your "fishing arsenal" .

Little Chauncy Pond Description
Although small in size (only 45 acres) Little Chauncy Pond offers the fisherman an opportunity to fish in a relatively unspoiled, tranquil setting. With no cottages or houses along its shoreline, Little Chauncy Pond can provide innumerable hours of enjoyable fishing either from shore or in small boats and canoes. Unfortunately, the exemplary bog habitat that once bordered the northern end of the pond has been severely degraded in recent years due to the expansion of a golf course. The pond is located just a little north of Big Chauncy Pond and accessed via a dirt road off of Lyman Street. The dirt ramp is suitable only for small boats and canoes, and is now part of the Westboro Wildlife Management Area. There is enough room to park perhaps a dozen cars, but the parking area can become quite muddy during rainy periods in the spring. Watch out for deep ruts! Fish Populations: bluegills, golden shiners, yellow perch, black crappie, pumpkinseed, largemouth bass, white perch, yellow bullheads, chain pickerel and brown bullhead.
Without a doubt, Little Chauncey Pond is an excellent location for simple relaxed fishing for panfish, bass or pickerel. You should be able to catch lots of fish, but don't expect too many large keeper bass or pickerel. This is a real nice place to introduce children to the sport of fishing. It is a fairly good pond for yellow perch during the winter.
