Daymond Pond in Somerset County: How and When to Fish It

• Overview

  Somerset County, Maine, is where Daymond Pond sits. It lies 1,453 feet above sea level. About 11 acres of surface, which puts the far bank inside easy sight. Our Somerset County list holds plenty of bigger water. For supplies, Linière is 22 miles out. The big place round here is Sherbrooke, 81 miles distant. This one is safely inside the county line.

• Where to Fish on Daymond Pond

  Depth is unknown to us, and the shoreline is the better guide. A natural lake fishes on cover, and cover here means weed and timber. Bays and points beat straight shoreline every time on water like this. County-wide records name Atlantic salmon, brown trout and smallmouth bass. Protected fish appear in the records for this area, so treat the list as information, not an invitation. At Daymond Pond light and wind decide more than tackle does.

• Seasonal Patterns

  July runs about 63°F on average, January about 10°F. Hard water is a season in its own right here. Ice is part of the season here, ending near late April. In an average year the thaw lands around late April and the freeze near late November. Early summer and early autumn carry the open-water season. On Daymond Pond the same rules apply, with local timing.

• Tackle & Baits

  Whether you may fish here is not something records settle. No slipway, car park or made path shows up nearby in mapping, so treat access as rough. A small crankbait along the drop and a worm in the thick stuff cover the bass. Season dates differ by species, so read the table. Some stretches are reserved and marked as such on the ground. Should this one be busy, Coburn Pond is 0.6 miles off. Signs at Daymond Pond carry more weight than any list.
