Bobs Pond, Maine: Fishing Spots and Seasons

• Overview

  Bobs Pond lies in Somerset County, in Maine. Elevation runs to 1,575 feet. It measures about 25 acres, which is a comfortable size for bank fishing. About 0.9 miles of bank, so nothing stays unexplored for long. It sits higher than most water we list in Maine. The nearest town is Linière, 26 miles away. Lévis is the closest city, 83 miles away. It lies deep inside the county rather than near an edge.

• Where to Fish on Bobs Pond

  Depth is not on record here, so the bank has to tell you. The shallow end warms first and pulls fish in ahead of the rest. On a natural lake the weed line and the shelf beyond it do the work. Records held for Somerset County cover Atlantic salmon, brown trout, smallmouth bass, rainbow smelt and rainbow trout. Protected fish appear in the records for this area, so treat the list as information, not an invitation. The shape of Bobs Pond decides where the fish sit.

• Seasonal Patterns

  The warm month here averages 63°F; the cold one sits at 8°F. The freeze arrives properly here and holds. Hard cover is dependable here; it goes around late April. The water is typically free of ice between late April and late November. May into June fishes hardest, and September gives a second good stretch before the lid returns. Expect Bobs Pond to follow that timing.

• Tackle & Baits

  The access position is unclear from public sources. No dam controls it, and the level follows the season. Public data shows nothing built here, so treat the whole approach as informal. A small crankbait along the drop and a worm in the thick stuff cover the bass. A landowner's word beats anything printed elsewhere. Some ground is open by custom rather than by right, so tread carefully. The nearest alternative is Summit Pond, 0.9 miles out. Confirm access to Bobs Pond locally before you travel.
