Jimmy Pond in Kennebec County: How and When to Fish It

• Overview

  Jimmy Pond lies within the bounds of Kennebec County, Maine. Height above sea level is 157 feet. Around 51 acres of surface means several distinct areas to work. The full circuit measures close to 1.9 miles on foot. By elevation it sits in the lower part of our Maine listings. The closest town, Sabattus, is 6 miles away. Monmouth is 6.2 miles and Greene Village 7.6 miles. A county boundary sits nearby, which can matter for local access rules.

• Where to Fish on Jimmy Pond

  Our records carry no depth, so judge it from the bank. 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. Survey and observation records for Kennebec County include brown trout, Atlantic salmon, largemouth bass and smallmouth bass. Some of the species recorded here are protected or tightly regulated, so check what may be targeted before you fish. At Jimmy Pond the first feature you find is worth twenty minutes.

• Seasonal Patterns

  The range across the year is 19°F to 69°F. A full turn of seasons, with the strongest sport on either side of summer. Count on hard cover from midwinter, and open water from early April. Break-up near early April, freeze-up near mid December: that is the shape of an average year. The first weeks of open water and the last are the ones to plan for. That shapes the year on Jimmy Pond.

• Tackle & Baits

  Access is not recorded for this water. No dam controls it, and the level follows the season. Jimmy Stream Conservation Area covers ground next to the water; its rules will apply on that side. Bass water: a Texas-rigged worm near cover, a spinnerbait when you need to cover ground. Some banks are open only from a marked point. Rules for boats are stricter than rules for the bank in many places. The nearest alternative is Buker Pond, 1.2 miles out. None of that is settled for Jimmy Pond in what we hold.
