• Where to Fish on Big Robar Pond

  There is no published depth for this one, so start shallow and work out. A natural lake fishes on cover, and cover here means weed and timber. The shallow end warms first and pulls fish in ahead of the rest. Public occurrence data for Piscataquis County names Atlantic salmon, rainbow smelt, brook trout, brown trout and Arctic charr. Several of these carry legal protection or closed seasons; the rulebook comes before the rod. At Big Robar Pond the first feature you find is worth twenty minutes.

• Seasonal Patterns

• Tackle & Baits

  Nothing in our records says who may fish here. Mapping is blank for access, so scout the approach before committing the car. Bass water: a Texas-rigged worm near cover, a spinnerbait when you need to cover ground. A phone call first saves an afternoon. Night access is frequently treated as a separate matter. The nearest alternative is Rober Pond, 1 mile out. Ask locally about Big Robar Pond if anything is unclear.
