Grass Pond Fishing Guide, Somerset County, Maine

• Overview

  You will find Grass Pond in Somerset County, Maine. Elevation runs to 1,155 feet. At about 73 acres, a day is enough to walk the shoreline properly. The bank runs about 1.5 miles all the way round, so one visit can cover most of it. Start from Kingfield, 24 miles down the road. It is 88 miles to Sherbrooke, the nearest city. The nearest boundary is well away, so one set of rules covers the water.

• Where to Fish on Grass Pond

  Nothing in our records gives a depth for this one. Where the bottom changes texture, fish gather; find that line. Bays and points beat straight shoreline every time on water like this. Species logged across Somerset County include Atlantic salmon, brown trout, smallmouth bass, rainbow smelt and rainbow trout. Some of the species recorded here are protected or tightly regulated, so check what may be targeted before you fish. On Grass Pond that means starting tight and working out.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Climate normals give 64°F for July and 11°F for January. A solid cap is the normal state through winter. Firm cover through the cold months, then open water from late April. The season between ice runs from about late April to late November. Spring is short and heavy here; autumn is longer and steadier. At Grass Pond the season follows that pattern closely.

• Tackle & Baits

  No public source sets out the position on this bank. No dam controls it, and the level follows the season. Access is unmapped, which usually means a farm track and a walk. Bass water: a Texas-rigged worm near cover, a spinnerbait when you need to cover ground. A landowner's word beats anything printed elsewhere. A polite question at the farm gate opens more banks than anything else. The nearest alternative is Upper Pierce Pond, 0.7 miles out. None of that is settled for Grass Pond in what we hold.
