Fletcher Pond, known to some as Fletcher's Floodings, began when the Alpena Power Co.
built a dam across the Thunder Bay River and started flooding
over 9,000 acres of marsh land in 1932. Today Fletcher Pond
is loaded with stumps, weeds and heavy cover over the entire
lake making it a perfect fish habitat. This same feature renders
it unusable for jet skis and large power boats making it
one of the most peaceful lakes to fish in Michigan.
The lake is well known for it's monster pike and bass
and also holds a great number of perch and panfish.
Six pound bass are caught every year with pike in the
30 inch class a common site.
Abundant water fowl is another thing that makes Fletcher Pond
special. Duck and geese use the pond as a resting
area on their migration route. It also is the largest
hatching grounds for Osprey, bird watching paradise. The Mackinac State Forest
and other surrounding public lands hold many game birds for hunters.
Whitetail rifle and bow hunters will find these
same areas a great place to get that trophy buck.
