Little Indian Pond Fishing in Somerset County, Maine

• Overview

  Little Indian Pond is one of the Somerset County listings for Maine. Country round the bank runs to mixed forest. Small at around 23 acres: two anglers spread out cover most of it. Nearest place of any size is Greenville, 12 miles away. After that come Sangerville at 29 miles and Dover-Foxcroft at 34 miles. The nearest boundary is well away, so one set of rules covers the water.

• Where to Fish on Little Indian Pond

  We hold no depth figure for this one. Read the surface for the wind lane, then fish the edge of it. Still water like this holds fish on the edges rather than out in the open. Reported across Somerset County: Atlantic salmon, brown trout and smallmouth bass. Protected fish appear in the records for this area, so treat the list as information, not an invitation. Read Little Indian Pond for ten minutes before the first cast goes out.

• Seasonal Patterns

  The seasonal spread runs 11°F to 65°F. Fishing here follows the temperature more than the calendar. Look for the thaw near late April; the fishing lifts straight after. Open water usually runs from late April until about early December. May into June fishes hardest, and September gives a second good stretch before the lid returns. Time your trip to Little Indian Pond by conditions rather than dates.

• Tackle & Baits

  Whether the bank is open is not something our records settle. Nothing is mapped in the way of a ramp or car park within a short radius. Largemouth respond to soft plastics tight to cover; go weedless where the growth is heavy. Check locally before you travel, because a wasted drive is a long one. Fishing rules and camping rules are set separately here. The nearest alternative is Knights Pond, 1.5 miles out. Rules at Little Indian Pond are worth checking on the day.
