• Where to Fish on Jaquith Pond

  Depth is unmeasured here, so let the shoreline guide you. A natural lake fishes on cover, and cover here means weed and timber. Weed, then depth: that is the order to fish a water of this kind. Reported across Piscataquis County: Atlantic salmon, rainbow smelt, brook trout, brown trout and Arctic charr. Some of the species recorded here are protected or tightly regulated, so check what may be targeted before you fish. At Jaquith Pond the water rewards a slow, careful approach.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Average temperature peaks around 67°F in July and bottoms out near 14°F in January. The freeze arrives properly here and holds. Look for the thaw near mid April; the fishing lifts straight after. The water is typically free of ice between mid April and early December. May into June fishes hardest, and September gives a second good stretch before the lid returns. Keep it in mind when planning a trip to Jaquith Pond.

• Tackle & Baits

  Whether you may fish here is not something records settle. Nothing formal is recorded here: no ramp, no car park, no marked path. A small crankbait along the drop and a worm in the thick stuff cover the bass. Look for a notice board at the entrance. Close seasons apply to some species and not others. If the gate is shut, Abbee Pond at 1.9 miles is the nearest alternative. Treat Jaquith Pond as unsettled until someone local tells you otherwise.
