Mudge Pond has some good sized perch, I get em in the first semi-deep cove on the same side as the launch, if you go past the foundation for the old boat house, you went too far. USE CAUTION... if you enter at the boat launch, there is a big old beaver that lives in there. His under-ice bubble trail makes the ice REAL WEAK. Luckily, his trail is only about a foot wide, and in shallow water, but you wont see it under the snow. If ya enter by the beach, you should be OK. You can ask my partner Wayne about ice fishin with a wet and frozen boot.
