Fished on Kingswood Lake today...
We went up to Kingswood lake in Brookfield today to our friends' camp. After kayaking around the lake, I decided to go fishing with my fly rod. After 45 minutes of fishing, I hooked into this bass. 17in long, and it took about 5 minutes to get him to the boat. 4 or 5 good leaps along the way. He is back in the lake to live another day, and hopefully find his way back onto my fly rod. Woo Hoo, felt like a kid again. Ugly fly, weighted, but sure was effective. My friend has caught some bass on a similar type fly.

Great looking fish. You deserve a fun day on the lake fishing after getting all your firewood out of the driveway and stacked.

Wood stacking party on Sunday. My son and four former / current wrestlers from his wrestling team came up and put away just under 5 cords in about 3 hours. They are animals!!! Great kids actually. And I did help. Kingswood lake is off rte 109 in Brookfield, between rt28 and rt16.

I could be wrong now, but years ago you could access that lake from Rte 109. There is a long dirt road before you come to the houses where you can see the lake from the road. The houses are before the farm that sells vegetables and other things. I don't know how else to describe it.

Kingswood Lake Info
...may be found here http://scholars.unh.edu/cgi/viewcont...context=honors along with some photos
On p. 25 it states "Because Kingswood Lake has no current public access there is very little known about the lake and therefore there is very little data on the area as a whole." The dam may be reached by taking Mead Dam Road (off of 109)....often there may be access at the dam site.

My friends told me about the trout.
Quote:
There may be a few trout left, but F&G are not actively stocking the lake. Also, the lake is only about 35 ft deep at its deepest, and is quite warm, even though it is spring fed. There does not seem to be a public access area. If I remember the end by the dam, there is private property on either side of the dam. Also, the road is a very narrow dirt road, as in a path, so watch your step driving down in there. You may be able to talk to a landowner, and see if you can launch a canoe or kayak, but I doubt that you could put in a small boat, other than a "cartop" boat. It is a beautiful lake, surrounded about 2/3 private landowners and the rest is in a trust, with no roads into the trust area. Sorry to sound so negative, but there just isn't a lot of public access area on this lake.
