• Where to Fish on Kellners Pond

  Without a survey to go on, judge depth from how the bank falls away. Still water like this holds fish on the edges rather than out in the open. Look for the band where the shallows give up and the bottom falls away. Fish documented in Western Connecticut Planning Region include bluegill, brown trout, pumpkinseed and yellow perch. Species recorded across the county may be limited to a few waters. Kellners Pond gives up its fish to patience rather than distance.
