Jack's Landing is one of the original resorts on Fletcher Pond.
Known to some as Fletcher's Floodings it began when the Alpena Power Co. built
a dam across the Thunder Bay River and started flooding over 9,000 acres of marsh
land in 1932.
Today Fletcher Pond is loaded with stumps, weeds and heavy cover over the entire lake making
it a perfect fish habitat. This same feature renders it unusable for jet skis and large power
boats making it one of the most peaceful lakes to fish in Michigan.
The lake is well known for it's monster pike and bass and also holds a great number of perch and panfish.
Six pound bass are caught every year with pike in the 30 inch class a common site.
Abundant water fowl is another thing that makes Fletcher Pond special. Duck and geese use the pond
as a resting area on their migration route. It also is the largest hatching
grounds for Osprey, a bird watching paradise. The Mackinac State Forest and other
surrounding public lands hold many game birds for hunters. White tail rifle and bow hunters
will find these same areas a great place to get that trophy buck.
