Flat light and a covered sky today, with hardly a ripple anywhere and pressure on the rise. The fish at Carloe Pond are likely to sit near the overhang and the water beneath it. If you must go, go in the night. One good spot fished well beats five fished quickly. Shortening days concentrate the feeding into fewer hours.

Carloe Pond stands in Washington County, Maine. The bank is 292 feet above sea level. This is a pocket water of some 12 acres, and every part of it is reachable from the bank. On size it sits at the modest end of our Washington County list. St. Stephen lies 20 miles from the water. Dartmouth is the closest city, 202 miles away. It lies deep inside the county rather than near an edge.
Depth figures are not published for this one. The shallow end warms first and pulls fish in ahead of the rest. Weed, then depth: that is the order to fish a water of this kind. County-wide records name alewife, Atlantic salmon and rainbow smelt. Protected fish appear in the records for this area, so treat the list as information, not an invitation. Read Carloe Pond for ten minutes before the first cast goes out.
On the long-term average, July reads 67°F and January reads 16°F. A hard winter is normal, and the thaw brings a strong few weeks. Expect a solid lid for months and a thaw around mid April. From about mid April to around early December, expect open water on the long-run figures. Fish feed hardest at the start and the close of the open season. Anyone fishing Carloe Pond regularly works to that calendar.
Who may fish here is not settled in anything we hold. No car park, ramp or path is recorded within easy reach of the shore. Largemouth respond to soft plastics tight to cover; go weedless where the growth is heavy. Rules for this water may differ from the county norm. Signs go up and come down, so check on the day. Hosea Pug Lake at 1.4 miles is the sensible second choice. Nothing here settles the position at Carloe Pond for certain.
