Nellie Pond is a 15-acre pocket water in the Tupper Lake region — small enough to feel remote, large enough to paddle if you can get a boat in. No fish stocking records on file, which typically means either native brookies that never made the DEC's radar or a pond that winterkills in lean years. Access and trail details aren't documented in the standard references, so this one requires local knowledge or a willingness to bushwhack off a nearby woods road. Worth a call to a Tupper Lake outfitter or the DEC Ray Brook office if you're planning a trip.
Nicks Pond is a 16-acre water in the Tupper Lake region — small enough to feel remote, large enough to paddle without circling endlessly. No fish stocking records on file, which usually means wild brookies or nothing at all; worth a cast if you're already there. The pond sits in working forest land where access and conditions can shift with logging roads and seasonal gates — the kind of place that rewards local beta more than a DEC map. If you're fishing the Tupper Lake circuit, this is a secondary stop, not the anchor.
