Schoolhouse Pond Description

Schoolhouse Pond is a 23 acre natural kettlehole pond with an average depth of 20 feet and a maximum depth of 47 feet. Transparency is good, the bottom is composed primarily of sand, and aquatic vegetation is sparse and mostly submergent. The 0.66 miles of shoreline is moderately developed with permanent residences and a beach. Access: Schoolhouse Pond is located just south of Queen Anne Road, west of Goose Pond, and northwest of the Chatham Municipal Airport. From the Sagamore Bridge, take Route 6 east to exit 11; take Route 137 south. Take a left onto Queen Anne Road, then a right onto Sam Ryder Road. The access is on the left and over a town beach. It is suitable for launching cartop boats and canoes. Electric motors only, no internal combustion engines are allowed. Fish Populations: yellow perch, brown bullhead and chain pickerel. A fisheries survey by a consultant studying the liming found yellow perch, pumpkinseed sunfish, smallmouth bass, redfin (chain?) pickerel, brown trout, American eel and abundant banded killifish. In addition to stocked trout, Schoolhouse Pond contains a variety of warmwater species.

Schoolhouse Pond is managed as a catchable trout pond and is annually stocked in the spring with brook, brown and rainbow trout. These will readily take small spoons (gold color is recommended), spinners, streamers, worms and doughbaits. While little is known about the quality of the smallmouth bass fishery, the yellow perch should be abundant and of good average size. Best bet to get these in quantity is to slow troll or drift a spinner with a trailing garden worm. When a school is located, it is always a good idea to anchor for a little while to work a worm-sweetened jig.
