Kneeland Pond, Maine: Fishing Spots and Seasons

• Overview

  You will find Kneeland Pond in Oxford County, Maine. The ground round it is mixed forest. About 16 acres of surface, which puts the far bank inside easy sight. Most waters listed here for Oxford County are larger. The nearest town is Bethel, 8.8 miles away. The big place round here is Manchester, 94 miles distant. It lies deep inside the county rather than near an edge.

• Where to Fish on Kneeland Pond

  Our records carry no depth, so judge it from the bank. Still water like this holds fish on the edges rather than out in the open. Weed, then depth: that is the order to fish a water of this kind. Public occurrence data for Oxford County names brown trout, Atlantic salmon, rainbow trout, smallmouth bass and largemouth bass. Some of the species recorded here are protected or tightly regulated, so check what may be targeted before you fish. At Kneeland Pond the first feature you find is worth twenty minutes.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Climate normals give 67°F for July and 16°F for January. Fishing here follows the temperature more than the calendar. Ice fishing carries the winter, and the water opens about mid April. Averages place the thaw at mid April and the freeze at early December. Late spring and early autumn carry the year between them. That shapes the year on Kneeland Pond.

• Tackle & Baits

  Access status is simply unknown for this water. Nothing is listed nearby for parking or launching a boat. Largemouth respond to soft plastics tight to cover; go weedless where the growth is heavy. State or provincial rules still apply whatever the bank status. Access can change hands, so last year's answer may not hold. The nearest alternative is Little Papoose Pond, 1.1 miles out.
