Camp Pond, Maine: Fishing Spots and Seasons

• Overview

  In Maine, Camp Pond belongs to Piscataquis County. The bank is 1,017 feet above sea level. This is a pocket water of some 9 acres, and every part of it is reachable from the bank. It is one of the smaller waters we list in Piscataquis County. The nearest town is Brownville, 14 miles away. Greenville is 16 miles away, with Dover-Foxcroft at 17 miles. The nearest boundary is well away, so one set of rules covers the water.

• Where to Fish on Camp Pond

  Our records carry no depth, so judge it from the bank. The shallow end warms first and pulls fish in ahead of the rest. Bays and points beat straight shoreline every time on water like this. Piscataquis County records list Atlantic salmon, rainbow smelt, brook trout and brown trout among the fish reported. Some of the species recorded here are protected or tightly regulated, so check what may be targeted before you fish. Take Camp Pond a stretch at a time.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Temperature averages peak at 64°F in July and bottom out at 11°F in January. The middle months are generous; the ends are demanding. Count on hard cover from midwinter, and open water from late April. The lid tends to go about late April and return around early December. The strongest runs come at either end of the open season. Plan any trip to Camp Pond around it.

• Tackle & Baits

  Ownership and access are not documented in what we hold. Formal access is not mapped, so the last stretch is likely on foot. Bass water: a Texas-rigged worm near cover, a spinnerbait when you need to cover ground. Local rules can differ across the county line, so check where you stand. Fishing rules and camping rules are set separately here. The nearest alternative is Beaver Pond, 0.3 miles out. Nothing on Camp Pond should be assumed from this page alone.
