KENT POND

Park Fishing Tips

Try fishing for trout from the dam breast on the pond’s eastern shore, or in Kent Brook on the west side of the pond. Kent Pond is stocked with trout each spring, and anglers are typically most successful in targeting stocked fish on the east side of the pond.

Anglers may encounter native trout as they work their way up Kent Brook. Typical trout offerings such as a drifted worm—with or without a bobber, small spinners or flies, can be effective.

For targeting Kent Pond’s bass try using spinners, jigs or soft plastic lures. There is a slot limit on Kent Pond bass, which requires all fish between 10 and 12 inches to be released. The daily limit of bass is ten, with only one being over 12 inches. To catch perch and sunfish, try using small spinners, tube jigs or grubs

History

Established in 1989.

The first batch of Long Trail Ale rolled off the line in 1989. Back then the brewery--known as the Mountain Brewers--was a modest brew house tucked into the basement of the Old Woolen Mill in Bridgewater Corners, with the goal to brew an affordable, American-made alternative to the pricey German and English exports that filled the shelves. At the time, the craft brewing industry in America was on the rise and Vermont was better known for maple syrup than beer. In 1989, Long Trail Ale hit the taps at local watering holes blazing the trail for Vermont's craft brewing industry. With the Mountain Brewers leading the pack, Long Trail Ale slowly weaved its way into the Green Mountain landscape--becoming as much a Vermont tradition as the hiking trail itself. Commonly referred to as "the Long Trail guys," we eventually changed our name. When we outgrew the 8,000 barrel-a-year system in the Old Mill basement in 1995, we decided to take a hike on up the road to where we reside today.
