When I was young and starting out fishing with my Dad, he fished a number of old rock quarries here Central Kentucky. At that time you could catch some very nice bass and bluegills out of these things. Through the years I have noticed they have been filled in and no longer a place to fish. A lot of our present day roads got their start from the rock and gravel from these quarries. They would start one ever so many miles so they would not have to haul rock long distances. I know my biology professor had one in his back yard that he managed to grow some of the biggest bluegills I have ever seen in Kentucky.

As far as fishing farm ponds, the most and the biggest fish I have caught in my life time has been from farm ponds. Some things to think about when asking the landowner for permission to fish are: Can you keep any fish and what size? Where can I park? Make sure to close gates. Let the landowner know you are coming. May I take a friend and how many? Leave the banks litter free. May you leave the pond owner a mess of fish?
