Salem Pond is ice free and the fishing was super hot over the weekend. I caught a total of 52 fish on saturday and 24 on sunday. 10-12" planted rainbows were taking worms off the bottom. The real fun was casting lures. They must've just stocked the pond with some old spawners, because there are massive schools of 15-20" browns or brookies, I'm not exactly sure what they were. Their tails were clipped, so they came from a regulated fishery of some sort. You could see tons of them swimming in the water, and they were hungry. Almost every cast had a bite. I had the best luck on a fruity colored tazmanian devil lure and a black and gold panther martin spinner.
