Fishing Lloyd Pond in Piscataquis County, Maine

• Overview

  Lloyd Pond is a Piscataquis County water, in Maine. This is lake country bush ground. Small even by pond standards, it rewards one careful line. It is a small entry by Piscataquis County standards. The nearest place of any size is Greenville, 12 miles away. Brownville follows at 20 miles, then Dover-Foxcroft at 23 miles. The county line is nowhere near, so one local authority covers the water.

• Where to Fish on Lloyd Pond

  Open data we checked carries no depth for this water. The productive water is a rod length or two out, not a hundred. Weed, then depth: that is the order to fish a water of this kind. Piscataquis County records list Atlantic salmon, rainbow smelt, brook trout and brown trout among the fish reported. At least one recorded species is protected in parts of its range; read the local rules before targeting anything. Anyone new to Lloyd Pond should walk it once before setting up.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Typical July readings run about 63°F; by January the average is down near 10°F. Fishing here follows the temperature more than the calendar. Once it clears, about late April, the fishing comes on quickly. Going by climate averages, expect open water from about late April until roughly late November. The shoulder weeks of the open season are the productive ones. Anyone fishing Lloyd Pond regularly works to that calendar.

• Tackle & Baits

  Ownership and access are not documented in what we hold. Public data has parking about half a mile from the shore. A small crankbait along the drop and a worm in the thick stuff cover the bass. Some banks are open only from a marked point. Fishing rules and camping rules are set separately here. For a change of water, Little Lyford Ponds is 1.4 miles distant. Treat access at Lloyd Pond as something to verify.
