Fifth Currier Pond Fishing Guide, Piscataquis County, Maine

• Overview

  Piscataquis County in Maine is where Fifth Currier Pond sits. Elevation runs to 1,138 feet. At roughly 9 acres, the whole thing is within casting reach of a single walk. It is a small entry by Piscataquis County standards. The town to know is Patten, 41 miles out. After that come Saint-Pamphile at 51 miles and Millinocket at 54 miles. The nearest edge is a long way off, so local rules apply throughout.

• Where to Fish on Fifth Currier Pond

  Depth here is unknown, so count the lead down before committing. A soft bed grows weed late into autumn, which keeps fish shallow. Weed, then depth: that is the order to fish a water of this kind. Across Piscataquis County, recorded fish include Atlantic salmon, rainbow smelt, brook trout and brown trout. Several of these carry legal protection or closed seasons; the rulebook comes before the rod. The near bank of Fifth Currier Pond is often the one people ignore.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Average temperature peaks around 64°F in July and bottoms out near 8°F in January. A full turn of seasons, with the strongest sport on either side of summer. The open season starts with the thaw, near enough late April. Average temperatures cross freezing around late April in spring and again near late November in autumn. Right after break-up, and again as the nights sharpen, is when to go. Expect Fifth Currier Pond to follow that timing.

• Tackle & Baits

  Whether the bank is open is not something our records settle. Mapping shows an empty shoreline: no ramp, no jetty, no marked entry. Largemouth respond to soft plastics tight to cover; go weedless where the growth is heavy. Season dates differ by species, so read the table. Check whether bait restrictions apply before you buy any.
