Little Fish Pond in Somerset County: How and When to Fish It

• Overview

  You will find Little Fish Pond in Somerset County, Maine. The setting is rolling bush. Around 28 acres of surface means several distinct areas to work. It sits higher than most water we list in Maine. Linière at 19 miles is the nearest place to stop. Lévis is the closest city, 85 miles away. The nearest boundary is well away, so one set of rules covers the water.

• Where to Fish on Little Fish Pond

  Depth is unmeasured here, so let the shoreline guide you. The productive water is a rod length or two out, not a hundred. On a natural lake the weed line and the shelf beyond it do the work. Species logged across Somerset County include Atlantic salmon, brown trout, smallmouth bass and rainbow smelt. Protected fish appear in the records for this area, so treat the list as information, not an invitation. Work Little Fish Pond in sections rather than trying to cover it.

• Seasonal Patterns

  The warmest month averages 63°F, the coldest about 9°F. The season turns properly here, and fish follow it closely. Break-up comes around late April, and the run that follows is short and strong. Break-up sits around late April on average, with the water closing again about late November. Right after break-up, and again as the nights sharpen, is when to go. Little Fish Pond runs to its own calendar within the local pattern.

• Tackle & Baits

  No access rule appears in what we hold. Public data shows nothing built here, so treat the whole approach as informal. For the bass here, soft plastics worked slow along cover and a spinnerbait for searching do most of the work. Rules for this water may differ from the county norm. Where the way in crosses private ground, ask first. Failing this one, try Hale Pond, 1.9 miles away. Ask locally about Little Fish Pond if anything is unclear.
