Soft grey light all day today, with calm air over the water with the glass holding level. Activity on Fellows Pond should centre on the overhang and the water beneath it. A hard day on paper; the night edges the rest. Scale down and fish slowly. Shortening days concentrate the feeding into fewer hours.

Fellows Pond lies in Franklin County, Maine. It stands 341 feet above sea level. Small at around 23 acres: two anglers spread out cover most of it. Chesterville lies 1.7 miles from the water. Mount Vernon follows at 5 miles, then Livermore Falls at 6.3 miles. Within easy reach: Round Pond 0.3 miles away, Horseshoe Pond within 0.6 miles, Norcross Pond 0.9 miles away, Egypt Pond within 1.7 miles and North Pond 2.1 miles away. The line between counties passes nearby, which can change who manages the water.
We hold no survey for this water; read the slope of the shoreline instead. Where the bottom changes texture, fish gather; find that line. The shallow end warms first and pulls fish in ahead of the rest. Across Franklin County, recorded fish include Atlantic salmon, brown trout and rainbow trout. At least one recorded species is protected in parts of its range; read the local rules before targeting anything. Fellows Pond repays a walk before the first cast.
Long-term averages put July at about 67°F and January near 16°F. The year runs cold to warm and back, with clear transitions. Ice fishing carries the winter, and the water opens about mid April. Going by climate averages, expect open water from about mid April until roughly early December. The first weeks of open water and the last are the ones to plan for. On Fellows Pond the same rules apply, with local timing.
Nothing we hold confirms whether access is permitted. Nothing is mapped in the way of a ramp or car park within a short radius. Bass water: a Texas-rigged worm near cover, a spinnerbait when you need to cover ground. State or provincial rules still apply whatever the bank status. Barbless rules turn up on managed water more often than not. Round Pond, 0.3 miles away, makes the obvious fallback. Check the position on Fellows Pond before loading the car.
