| More than a traditional float tube/belly boat. More stable than a canoe or kayak. The combination of foot fins and oars, allow the angler to hold his/her position, especially on windy days! The water-master float boats are the DIY angling ultimate pond-river-lake-ocean craft. |
How to Fish Stonehouse Pond
Option A: We offer one man float boat (not traditional float tube) fishing service. This is an extremely safe experience and offers an opportunity to catch Brook Trout, and perhaps a feisty Pickerel. We would be happy to work with you.
Option B: DIY (Do it Yourself). If you plan to fish Stonehouse Pond on your own, your best bet is:
- Remember, this body of water is fly fishing only, and catch and release is encouraged. Please use barbless hooks.
- Canoe, Kayak, Belly Boat, SUP. No Petroleum Motors.
- Fish are not always in the deep waters. Move around, explore, experiment. There are plenty of hungry fish in this pond.
- 2wt-6wt fly rods. Casting and trolling from watercraft.
- Brook Trout have been known to strike at just about any fly. Experiment with different flies.
- The use of floating and sinking fly lines depends on seasonal/daily conditions.
Final Word
Enjoy! Stonehouse Pond is picturesque body of water offering excellent fishing.
