The scenery is straight out of a 1950s black-and-white horror movie. The small pond is surrounded by jagged peaks shrouded in thick gray clouds. It's easy to imagine Count Dracula’s Castle perched on one of the nearby pinnacles.

Franconia Notch, once the home of the Old Man of the Mountains, could be the setting for a Gothic novel, and it is no doubt haunted by that very old man. For this reason alone, it is worth the trip to fish Profile Lake. Of course, the fact that it is perhaps the best stocked trout pond in the state doesn’t hurt.
