• Where to Fish on Grey Pond

  No chart reached our records; the first cast is your sounding. Still water like this holds fish on the edges rather than out in the open. Read the surface for the wind lane, then fish the edge of it. Species logged across Aroostook County include Atlantic salmon, rainbow smelt, brook trout, lake whitefish and Arctic charr. Protected fish appear in the records for this area, so treat the list as information, not an invitation. Grey Pond gives up more to patience than to distance.

• Seasonal Patterns

  The seasonal spread runs 8°F to 64°F. The year splits cleanly: hard water, then open water. Once it clears, about late April, the fishing comes on quickly. The season between ice runs from about late April to late November. Look to early summer and the first cool weeks of autumn. On Grey Pond the same rules apply, with local timing.
