Little Burnt Pond Fishing in Hancock County, Maine

Overview
Look for Little Burnt Pond in Hancock County, Maine. Height above sea level is 233 feet. Roughly 72 acres: a morning covers one end, an afternoon the other. The full circuit measures close to 1.7 miles on foot. Some 8.8 miles away sits Dedham, the nearest settlement. Ellsworth follows at 10 miles, then Holden at 11 miles. The nearest edge is a long way off, so local rules apply throughout.
Where to Fish on Little Burnt Pond
No published figure covers depth, so learn it as you fish. A soft bed grows weed late into autumn, which keeps fish shallow. This is a lake, so the margins and the first drop matter most. Hancock County records list Atlantic salmon, brown trout, alewife, rainbow smelt and blueback herring among the fish reported. Some of the species recorded here are protected or tightly regulated, so check what may be targeted before you fish. On Little Burnt Pond a short move beats a long cast.
Seasonal Patterns
Typical July readings run about 68°F; by January the average is down near 18°F. Seasons are distinct, and each one fishes differently. Break-up comes around early April, and the run that follows is short and strong. Ice clears near early April and comes back about mid December in a typical year. Reckon on open water from spring through to late autumn, with May and June the strongest. Plan any trip to Little Burnt Pond around it.
Tackle & Baits
Whether you may fish here is not something records settle. This is a natural basin, not a dammed one. There is no mapped parking or launch nearby, which keeps numbers down. 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. Where the way in crosses private ground, ask first. Rocky Pond at 0.7 miles is the sensible second choice. Check the current arrangement for Little Burnt Pond.
