Much as in GC's fine report, I was in need of some refreshening. Stan
came by my office on Tuesday and said he was also ready for a day off
for some fishing, so we made plans to head off to Pottapaug Pond on
Thursday.

Hi Tim,
Dang . . . you folks out there call that a pond . . . ehh?
Look's like a lake to me and you're just trying to trick me. (g)

Well, it USED to be a pond before the Quabbin Reservoir was filled. Now
it's part of the Quabbin, though slightly separated. Here's a map that
puts things into perspective, if you consider the Quabbin itself is 20+
miles long: http://css.sbcma.com/timj/pics/pottapaug.gif I've circled
the Pottapaug area. As you can see, it's bigger than most lakes.

Another thing I forgot to mention in my mini-TR: Because of the mild
summer, the plants in the water were very sparse this year, making for
much better fishing conditions. Typically, areas like the photo of the
bluegill cove are completely thick with water plants.
