Re: Quimby Pond

Have been fishing Quimby Pond since the early 40's until the late 80's . Remember when there were at least 4-5 sporting camps that rented boats and had accomodations for overnight anglers. At first, when I was very young, we used to rent a boat from Sagamore Lodge. Later in life, I catered to Quimby Pond Camps where Bob Banard was the proprietor. Many people fished there and my experience was that you had to fish hard and move around the pond but this would generally result in a successful but generally long day. On occasions, I have caught fresh water smelt on a Black Ghost which is quite unusual as Quimby is only 10-12 deep. Largest trout i have caught there was 17" but it was deep and handsome. Never hit it when the trout were taking dries but remember one early morning when there were fish feeding all around us and no one could find the secret. My guess is that there was some kind of nymph hatching and were not interested in Black Ghosts.
