Amys Pond near North Berwick: Fishing Spots, Seasons and Access

• Overview

  Amys Pond falls in York County, part of Maine. The bank is 144 feet above sea level. This is a pocket water of some 3 acres, and every part of it is reachable from the bank. Most waters listed here for York County are larger. North Berwick lies 0.4 miles from the water. Further out sit South Berwick (5.9 miles) and Rollinsford (6.2 miles). A border sits close enough to be relevant to the paperwork.

• Where to Fish on Amys Pond

  Nothing we hold settles how deep this runs. Inflow corners move water, and moving water gathers fish. Held water runs deepest at the wall and shallows back to the inflow. York County records list brown trout, alewife, Atlantic salmon and blueback herring among the fish reported. Some of the species recorded here are protected or tightly regulated, so check what may be targeted before you fish. The near bank of Amys Pond is often the one people ignore.

• Seasonal Patterns

  July runs about 70°F on average, January about 22°F. A hard winter is normal, and the thaw brings a strong few weeks. After late March the shallows warm and the fish move up. Break-up sits around late March on average, with the water closing again about mid December. The strong weeks are the first after break-up and the last before the freeze. It holds true on Amys Pond more years than not.

• Tackle & Baits

  Nothing in our records says who may fish here. There is somewhere to leave the car, half a mile off. For the bass here, soft plastics worked slow along cover and a spinnerbait for searching do most of the work. Read any posted signs at the access point rather than assuming. A polite question at the farm gate opens more banks than anything else. If the gate is shut, Great Works River Reservoir at 0.5 miles is the nearest alternative. The position on Amys Pond is worth confirming on the day.
