WEST HARBOR POND

Fishing -- a year-round activity on West Harbor Pond

​

Any time of the year is the right time to go for a local fishing "excursion" on West Harbor Pond.  Whether from land, canoe, or out on the ice, fishing is always a great way to spend some time on the Pond.  Here are several great articles about fishing on the Pond, written by some of those who know best - and a warning about the possible effects of the changing ice cover:
