Jack's Pond

I finally got to Jack's Pond on Staten Island.

I bushwacked around the renovated park and found these Canada Geese in the southern part.

I saw no fish in this shallow part.  It is a great place to lose flies and break tippet! 

It is marshy and one can cover their shoes in muck.  Fortunately, I wore my gore tex boots.

Looking west, the pond has several aerators  to try and eliminate algae in the summer when

it gets hot.

 Pictured is my 2 wt, 8 foot fly rod with the Maxcatch Automatic ( it is a semi-automatic)

I caught nothing but saw several turtles.
