  Little Mud Pond stands in Piscataquis County, Maine. Beyond the shoreline you have lake country bush. Surface area runs to about 15 acres — small enough to read in one session.

This one is safely inside the county line.

• Where to Fish on Little Mud Pond

  We hold no depth figure for this one. On a natural lake the weed line and the shelf beyond it do the work. A soft bed grows weed late into autumn, which keeps fish shallow. Survey and observation records for Piscataquis County include Atlantic salmon, rainbow smelt, brook trout and brown trout. At least one recorded species is protected in parts of its range; read the local rules before targeting anything. Read Little Mud Pond for ten minutes before the first cast goes out.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Expect July to average close to 65°F, with January the cold end at about 10°F. Winter shuts things down for a spell, then spring reopens them fast. Ice is part of the season here, ending near late April. The season between ice runs from about late April to early December. Late spring and early autumn carry the year between them. Expect Little Mud Pond to follow that timing.

• Tackle & Baits

  Who may fish here is not settled in anything we hold. Formal access is not mapped, so the last stretch is likely on foot. 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. Rules for boats are stricter than rules for the bank in many places. Upper Wilson Pond at 1.6 miles is the sensible second choice. Where Little Mud Pond is concerned, a local answer beats a written one.
