• Where to Fish on Boody Pond

  We hold no depth figure for this one. Read the surface for the wind lane, then fish the edge of it. A soft bed grows weed late into autumn, which keeps fish shallow. Public occurrence data for Kennebec County names brown trout, Atlantic salmon, largemouth bass, smallmouth bass and black crappie. Protected fish appear in the records for this area, so treat the list as information, not an invitation. On Boody Pond the quiet end is the one worth the extra effort.

• Seasonal Patterns

  The range across the year is 16°F to 67°F. Expect a real winter and a strong spring after it. The lid usually sets by midwinter and gives way around mid April. Averages place the thaw at mid April and the freeze at early December. The middle of summer slows a little, with dawn and dusk carrying it. The season on Boody Pond rarely departs from it.

• Tackle & Baits

  Nothing on record says whether the bank is open or closed. No launch point is recorded nearby, so this is a bank water unless you carry a boat in. 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. Some water is controlled locally without a sign saying so. Failing this one, try Kimball Pond, 0.7 miles away. Nothing on Boody Pond should be assumed from this page alone.
