Deboullie Pond, Maine: Fishing Spots and Seasons

• Overview

  Look for Deboullie Pond in Aroostook County, Maine. The ground around here is mixed forest. At 277 acres this is proper open water rather than a pond. At about 3.8 miles of edge, most people work one arm at a time. It is among the larger waters listed here for Aroostook County. Haut-Madawaska at 23 miles is the nearest place to stop. Then Fort Kent, 24 miles, and Frenchville, 31 miles. It lies deep inside the county rather than near an edge.

• Where to Fish on Deboullie Pond

  Our records hold no depth for this water. This is a lake, so the margins and the first drop matter most. A natural lake fishes on cover, and cover here means weed and timber. Across Aroostook County, recorded fish include Atlantic salmon, rainbow smelt, brook trout, lake whitefish and Arctic charr. Some of the species recorded here are protected or tightly regulated, so check what may be targeted before you fish. Deboullie Pond repays a walk before the first cast.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Averages move between 6°F in January and 63°F in July. The season turns properly here, and fish follow it closely. The open season starts with the thaw, near enough late April. Expect the water usable from around late April until roughly late November. The strongest runs come at either end of the open season. That is the shape of the year on Deboullie Pond.

• Tackle & Baits

  The paperwork position is blank for this one. This is a natural basin, not a dammed one. A campsite lies half a mile away for anyone staying over. Trout here take small spinners, spoons and, where fly water allows, a nymph or dry. A landowner's word beats anything printed elsewhere. Signs go up and come down, so check on the day. Little Black Ponds sits 0.7 miles off and takes the overflow. Nothing on Deboullie Pond should be assumed from this page alone.
