• Where to Fish on Indian Pond

  We hold no depth figure for this one. Look for the band where the shallows give up and the bottom falls away. The shallow end warms first and pulls fish in ahead of the rest. Open biodiversity records for Piscataquis County list Atlantic salmon, rainbow smelt and brook trout. At least one recorded species is protected in parts of its range; read the local rules before targeting anything. Work Indian Pond in sections rather than trying to cover it.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Expect July near 64°F and January near 10°F on the long-run figures. A hard winter is normal, and the thaw brings a strong few weeks. Look for the thaw near late April; the fishing lifts straight after. The lid tends to go about late April and return around early December. May into June fishes hardest, and September gives a second good stretch before the lid returns. The season on Indian Pond follows the weather closely.
