Klondike Pond in Piscataquis County: How and When to Fish It

• Overview

  Klondike Pond lies within the bounds of Piscataquis County, Maine. The bank is 3,428 feet above sea level. It covers about 5 acres, so this is small water you can walk round in under an hour. On size it sits at the modest end of our Piscataquis County list. Head to Millinocket, 22 miles away, for anything you forgot. For a city, Lévis is 122 miles off. One jurisdiction covers this water end to end.

• Where to Fish on Klondike Pond

  Our records carry no depth, so judge it from the bank. The productive water is a rod length or two out, not a hundred. A soft bed grows weed late into autumn, which keeps fish shallow. Public occurrence data for Piscataquis County names 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. Read Klondike Pond for ten minutes before the first cast goes out.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Climate normals give 61°F for July and 7°F for January. Fishing here follows the temperature more than the calendar. Count on hard cover from midwinter, and open water from early May. The water is typically free of ice between early May and mid November. September and October fish steadily right up to the freeze. Klondike Pond runs to its own calendar within the local pattern.

• Tackle & Baits

  The access position is unclear from public sources. No built facilities appear in mapping around this water. For the bass here, soft plastics worked slow along cover and a spinnerbait for searching do most of the work. Where access is informal, keep it that way by behaving. Close seasons apply to some species and not others. Failing this one, try Davis Pond, 1.2 miles away. None of that is settled for Klondike Pond in what we hold.
