During a visit with family to Rudd Pond, Mid-July 2010, we caught this adorable Catfish from the shore. He was about 8 inches long, whisker to tail. After careful examination, we set him back into the pond - hopefully he learned his lesson. Also, this year the park made a terrific swimming area, directly in front of a small but nice beach, the depth gradually reaches about 5 feet and since the park has removed the weeds the area is a lot of fun for all ages. It's much warmer than the Ore Pit; its clean and lifeguards are on duty from noon to 6pm.
September 2009. Fishing In Rudd Pond, Millerton, New York
Millerton is surrounded by lakes, rivers, streams and ponds. Rudd Pond is just one and it’s a great place for fishing, camping and picnicking. It is not recommended for swimming, however, because of the heavy vegetation below the surface.
A part of the Taconic State Park, you can rent small boats for fishing or just rowing and in the winter, weather permitting, there is Ice Skating (so I'm told).
