Mann Pond Fishing Guide, York County, Maine

• Overview

  Mann Pond is one of the York County listings for Maine. It sits at 427 feet above sea level. It covers about 10 acres, so this is small water you can walk round in under an hour. 3 miles away sits Newfield, the nearest town. Manchester is the closest city, 52 miles away. The boundary is close enough to be worth checking before you fish.

• Where to Fish on Mann Pond

  There is no published depth for this one, so start shallow and work out. The productive water is a rod length or two out, not a hundred. Still water like this holds fish on the edges rather than out in the open. Species logged across York County include brown trout, alewife and Atlantic salmon. At least one recorded species is protected in parts of its range; read the local rules before targeting anything. Mann Pond gives up more to patience than to distance.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Between January at about 19°F and July at about 68°F, the water has a wide range to work through. Fishing here follows the temperature more than the calendar. Firm cover through the cold months, then open water from early April. Average temperatures cross freezing around early April in spring and again near mid December in autumn. Fish feed hardest at the start and the close of the open season. Mann Pond runs to that rhythm year in and year out.

• Tackle & Baits

  No public source sets out the position on this bank. The water borders Vernon S. Walker Wildlife Management Area, so reserve rules are likely to apply. A small crankbait along the drop and a worm in the thick stuff cover the bass. Check locally before you travel, because a wasted drive is a long one. Night access is frequently treated as a separate matter. Failing this one, try Mud Pond, 0.5 miles away. For Mann Pond, the notice at the access point is the final word.
