FISHING AT TWIN PONDS COTTAGE 2025

There are a lot of different things you can do at Twin Ponds Cottage. Use it as a base of operations while you tour Vermont and neighboring states, just wind down from your regular pace, work remotely in beautiful surroundings, etc., etc. Among your many choices is fishing. Twin Ponds may not have the worlds best fishing but it is awfully good. There are five different species which provides enough variety so that you have an increased chance that something is biting now. There are Perch, Horn Pout (Eastern Cat Fish) a few brook trout, Large Mouth Bass and Chain Pickerel. Fishing takes patience, skill and a bit of luck. We can provide fishing poles and tackle if you are just a casual fisherman but if you are really serious, you will want to bring your own gear. We ask that unless you plan to eat them, that you release them back into the pond to be caught again sometime. Shown here is a big Large Mouth Bass that a neighborhood boy caught recently.

2025 TWIN PONDS COTTAGE IMPROVEMENTS

Each year we try to improve the cottage and the grounds. This year we have had the interior of the cottage repainted. We chose a pale yellow to keep the interior as light as possible while not stark white. We will continue to repaint the exterior as rentals permit. Our carpenter has replaced any deteriorating clapboards so that the painting can continue outside. The outside color is a more bold yellow. We will provide photos as the work is completed.

Success at Twin Ponds Cottage:

We have five different species thriving in Twin Ponds. However Large Mouth Bass and Chain Pickerel seem to be the most popular. This Summer guests have had good luck. Among the lucky anglers have been children. Two of them from different families and staying at different times have caught their first fish of their lives at Twin Ponds Cottage. As you can see they are pretty proud of their success. They have not told me their secret lure or technique but they did share their photos below. Additionally the Hale family were happy anglers, catching both Large Mouth Bass and Chain Pickerel of healthy size. Some guests caught their fish from one of the two boats and others fished from the grassy dock area.
