Davis Pond Fishing Guide, Piscataquis County, Maine

• Overview

  Davis Pond is a Piscataquis County water, Maine side. The bank is 2,927 feet above sea level. This is a tiny water, and one quiet approach covers all of it. On size it sits at the modest end of our Piscataquis County list. Head to Millinocket, 23 miles away, for anything you forgot. Then Patten, 24 miles, and East Millinocket, 28 miles. There is no boundary nearby to worry about.

• Where to Fish on Davis Pond

  No chart reached our records; the first cast is your sounding. Look for the band where the shallows give up and the bottom falls away. The productive water is a rod length or two out, not a hundred. Fish documented in Piscataquis County include Atlantic salmon, rainbow smelt, brook trout and brown trout. Protected fish appear in the records for this area, so treat the list as information, not an invitation. At Davis Pond light and wind decide more than tackle does.

• Seasonal Patterns

  July runs about 61°F on average, January about 7°F. The season turns properly here, and fish follow it closely. Ice is part of the season here, ending near early May. Averages suggest open water from about early May through to roughly mid November. Fishing peaks soon after break-up and again before the cold returns. Davis Pond fishes to that pattern most years.

• Tackle & Baits

  There is no clear statement anywhere on who can fish it. Mapping records no facilities at all near this water. For the bass here, soft plastics worked slow along cover and a spinnerbait for searching do most of the work. A landowner's word beats anything printed elsewhere. Close seasons apply to some species and not others. Failing this one, try Lake Cowles, 0.3 miles away. Ask locally about Davis Pond if anything is unclear.
