Hatch Pond in Eaton is one of those ponds that just screams trout. Forty years ago, Hatch Pond was known for big holdover brook trout. The pond is over 50-feet deep with many spring holes, thermal refuge for trout.

Over the years, the trout fishing in Hatch Pond has declined. The big holdover trout are gone. The hatchery fish have gotten smaller and smaller.
