Fishing Avery Pond in Piscataquis County, Maine

• Overview

  Avery Pond is one of the Piscataquis County listings for Maine. It lies 994 feet above sea level. The water measures roughly 20 acres, so nothing here is far from anything else. A shoreline of some 1.3 miles keeps the choices simple. The town to know is Linière, 40 miles out. The big place round here is Lévis, 81 miles distant. The county line is nowhere near, so one local authority covers the water.

• Where to Fish on Avery Pond

  Nothing in our records gives a depth for this one. A natural lake fishes on cover, and cover here means weed and timber. A soft bed grows weed late into autumn, which keeps fish shallow. Reported across Piscataquis County: Atlantic salmon, rainbow smelt, brook trout and brown trout. Protected fish appear in the records for this area, so treat the list as information, not an invitation. On Avery Pond the first feature you find is usually worth a session.

• Seasonal Patterns

  The seasonal spread runs 8°F to 63°F. Expect a real winter and a strong spring after it. Ice is part of the season here, ending near late April. Going by climate averages, expect open water from about late April until roughly late November. Just after the ice goes and just before it returns, the fishing lifts. That is the shape of the year on Avery Pond.

• Tackle & Baits

  Nothing we hold confirms whether access is permitted. No dam controls it, and the level follows the season. Mapping records no facilities at all near this water. For the bass here, soft plastics worked slow along cover and a spinnerbait for searching do most of the work. Local rules can differ across the county line, so check where you stand. Some water is controlled locally without a sign saying so. The nearest alternative is Pine Pond, 2.3 miles out. Rules at Avery Pond are worth checking on the day.
