I can't tell you if it is still stocked or not, a friend of mine fished it last year for half a day and didn't get a bite. Believe he was using bobber and worms. I grew up in Devon and moved away about 10 years ago, the whole time I was there I never knew about the pond. You could always give the NSR a try, think there is still a stocked walleye/trout pond upstream of Devon along the NSR. You can google map it, access is from graminia road.

I fished it in September for a few hours. Tried powerbait, spoons and other lures. No bites, no activity on the surface. Looked kind of fishless. There might be a few in there though since it is aerated.

Last time I drove past a week or so ago it looked like there is some kind of development east of the parking lot. Looked like they dozed some trees and dirt.
