Spooky Brook Pond

[Moz]

I remember scouting this lake last summer as a potential kid-friendly spot to bring my son and it was looking pretty rough in July. Grass was overgrown, algae-scum on the surface, and lots of trash piled up along the downed trees on the opposite side of the lake.

I could see some sunnies swimming around but when I read that the state actually stocked it with trout I couldn't believe it.

I find it hard to believe there are any trout in there or how long they live. While it does say it is stocked, it just looks like whatever is in there will die, trout wise. Had some scum on top today too. Do they allow canoes or anything?

I have thought about contacting the Fish and Game Dept to find out WHY they stock this as I would think that the way this pond is unfishable by June that ALL the trout will die in the pond and not find their way to the skillet.
