Fished the ice at Bountiful Pond yesterday afternoon between the 2 islands, about 6.5" of solid ice, caught one 10" rainbow in the first 5 min. Had a couple bites, but not much else after that. Water depth was 11.5 ft. We also tried by the outlet, with no success. Water depth was 8 ft.
Also hit Farmington Pond after that, to my amazement it had a good 5" of ice, but don't venture too close to the area the creek runs in, the ice is less than 2". Another guy was there, he caught 4 rainbows in the 7"-12" range, and we only had a couple bites. I think we got up there too late as it was getting dark when we pulled in. Farmington Pond seems like it's potential for fun if you don't want to drive very far.
