Bullough’s Pond isn’t all that large, but fishing enthusiasts find the fish are biting most days.

Anglers report catching bluegill, yellow perch and largemouth bass here.

Fly-fishing at Bullough’s Pond is fun when you’re floating and wearing fins to get to where the fish are biting…









… and any kind of fishing is better when you’re with a friend.
