Daggett Pond Fishing in Piscataquis County, Maine

• Overview

  In Maine, Daggett Pond belongs to Piscataquis County. Country round the bank runs to lake country bush. It measures some 460 acres, and wind has room to build across it. The shoreline runs about 4.3 miles, so it pays to pick a stretch and stay with it. It ranks high for size among our Piscataquis County listings. Linière lies 46 miles from the water. Lévis is the closest city, 88 miles away. No boundary runs near, so the county rules hold throughout.

• Where to Fish on Daggett Pond

  Depth is unmeasured here, so let the shoreline guide you. Look for the band where the shallows give up and the bottom falls away. A soft bed grows weed late into autumn, which keeps fish shallow. 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. At Daggett Pond the first feature you find is worth twenty minutes.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Between January at about 9°F and July at about 64°F, the water has a wide range to work through. Seasons are distinct, and each one fishes differently. Hard water holds through the cold months, breaking up near late April. Climate figures give an open season running late April to late November. The strongest runs come at either end of the open season. Daggett Pond runs to that rhythm year in and year out.

• Tackle & Baits

  The paperwork position is blank for this one. This is a natural basin, not a dammed one. Nothing formal is recorded here: no ramp, no car park, no marked path. Bass water: a Texas-rigged worm near cover, a spinnerbait when you need to cover ground. Parking is often the real limit rather than the bank itself. Access can change hands, so last year's answer may not hold. Round Pond, 1.8 miles away, makes the obvious fallback. Nothing here settles the position at Daggett Pond for certain.
