There is a good small lake at Fermi that can not be seen from the
Road, It is surrounded by a berm. It is east of the ring and west
of the lakes by the road. I think at its deepest its 8 feet deep.
It has carp and bullheads and schools of bait fish that you see
breaking the water once in a while. I have brought my canoe to
this pond and fished the surface and the bottom with leaches,
minnows, and nightcrawlers but all I caught were bullheads.
Has anyone else fished here and had better luck?
I know it gets little fishing pressure.
I have never seen anyone else fish this place.

To get to it you follow Batavia road to the collection of farm houses
on the east end of the site. There is a road (don't know the name) that
heads south into the collect of farm houses follow that road all the way
to the end, behind the barn, park there, get out and walk about 50 yards
further south and you'll see the lake. I found it from a satellite picture
of the area. If you go let us know how you made out. Good luck
