Sitting at home on a winter night wishing I was fishing on the lake nearby our cabin. Do you have a creek/river or a lake near your cabin? If so, I would love to see some photos.

We have a small pond by our cabin. It have a stream that flows into with small trout in it. We are thinking about having one dug in a swampy area on our land this fall. The picture on the other pond is about 5 miles from our cabin.

Larry, love the photos! Is this fish from your pond? If so, do you stock the pond yourself?

We are about 600 feet from water. Straight down ;)
Other than that nothing for a mile; that's a natural spring but it's not ours. It's on USFS land.

We have our shack on top of a small hill over looking a 100 acre + wetland that we own most of. No fish other than minnows but lots of waterfowl and wildlife...and wonderful sunsets.

We are located on a mountain lake in NW Montana. Great fishing both summer and winter. Very, very blessed.

Larry,
How big and deep is your pond? The area I want to have dug out is spring fed. I was going to make it 12 feet deep so it stays cool for the trout. What are your thoughts?
Thanks

Love the photos everyone! We have creek frontage- about 450' of quite fishable creek. It's not big water but the trout are plentiful. We also have a spring-fed creek with water rights, so that's how we get our water for the cabin.

Wow, 450 feet! Water rights are HUGE! We too have them and pull our water from the lake. (which is a whole 'nother topic LOL! )

ocean about 120 ft or so from the deck, can't remember what google earth said, but it is close, and running water from a spring fed river. Water falls about a 1/2 walk for a "fresh water" natural shower.
Paradise from my perspective:)

Thought I would send a few pictures of the 45 acre mountain lake just down the road from our cabin. The lake sits just shy of 5,000 ft. elev. in No. California and offers some great rainbow trout fishing from a float tube.

A cabin neighbor of mine has a friend who owns a seaplane (!). He took this a couple of years ago when they flew in for a visit. Our place is in the lower right hand corner in one of the bays. The lake is a mile long and restricted to 10hp motors. There is no highway or launch area so in effect it is a motorless lake unless we carry a boat and outboard down to it. Just the way I like it.

West Chicago Creek runs through -- good fishing -- great sounds. I have been toying with the idea of a water wheel to generate some electricity. Oh and uptream behind the big house -- we have a small beaver pond ...

Harriman Reservoir (over 8 miles long) is only about 7 minutes from our land in Southern Vermont. Beautiful, clean, surrounded by mountains and the largest commercial wind powered plant this side of the Mississippi (True).
I saw my first, and only, bald eagle there while boating on the reservoir last summer. Amazing.

I own about half way down to the lake and own to the center of two creeks that border my property and drain into the lake , They range from just damp to two to three ft of water after a heavy rain. My pond is 20 by 40ft and about 10 ft deep
