This relatively shallow pond is homothermous with a fair amount of weedy habitat, which makes it best suited for warmwater fish management. Fisheries biologists at the Maine Department of Inland Fisheries and Wildlife introduced largemouth bass in 1958 and 1959 to enhance angling opportunities. The bass population is now self-sustaining and provides good fishing. Chain pickerel are also abundant and provide additional angling excitement. General fishing laws apply. Motorboats over 10 horsepower prohibited.
