Chub Pond is a 103-acre water in the Old Forge area — mid-sized by town-of-Webb standards, where the ponds run small and the lakes run long. The name suggests native fallfish (*Semotilus corporalis*), a creek chub that thrives in Adirondack stillwaters, though no recent fish survey data is on file. Access and ownership details are unclear — many ponds in this drainage sit behind private shoreline or require local knowledge to reach by bushwhack or unmarked logging road. If you're looking to fish it, check with an Old Forge tackle shop or the DEC Ray Brook office for current status.
