Gulf Island Pond Fishing Guide, Androscoggin County, Maine

• Overview

  You will find Gulf Island Pond in Androscoggin County, Maine. It sits 20 miles in from the sea. Surface area runs to roughly 908 acres, so plan for one area rather than the whole. The shoreline runs to about 21 miles, far more than one trip can cover. It ranks high for size among our Androscoggin County listings. The nearest town is Greene Village, 3.9 miles away. After that come Lewiston at 4.1 miles and Auburn at 4.4 miles. The county line is nowhere near, so one local authority covers the water.

• Where to Fish on Gulf Island Pond

  Nothing in our records gives a depth for this one. Standing timber shows when the level drops, and fish sit against it. The old creek line under the surface is the feature worth finding. Reported across Androscoggin County: brown trout, rainbow trout and Atlantic salmon. Some of the species recorded here are protected or tightly regulated, so check what may be targeted before you fish. Work Gulf Island Pond in sections rather than trying to cover it.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Seasonal averages run from 19°F in January up to 69°F in July. A solid cap is the normal state through winter. Count on hard cover from midwinter, and open water from early April. The lid tends to go about early April and return around mid December. The middle of summer slows a little, with dawn and dusk carrying it. That is the shape of the year on Gulf Island Pond.

• Tackle & Baits

  Access is not recorded for this water. Nothing in the way of made access shows up nearby: no ramp, no car park, no path. A small crankbait along the drop and a worm in the thick stuff cover the bass. A landowner's word beats anything printed elsewhere. Where tickets apply, they are sold in the nearest town rather than on the bank. The Basin at 2.5 miles is the sensible second choice. Ask locally about Gulf Island Pond if anything is unclear.
