Moores Pond near Greenville: Fishing Spots, Seasons and Access

No border sits close enough to matter.

• Where to Fish on Moores Pond

  Depth went unrecorded, which puts the reading back on you. This is a lake, so the margins and the first drop matter most. A natural lake fishes on cover, and cover here means weed and timber. Fish documented in Piscataquis County include Atlantic salmon, rainbow smelt, brook trout and brown trout. Several of these carry legal protection or closed seasons; the rulebook comes before the rod. At Moores Pond the first feature you find is worth twenty minutes.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Long-run averages give July about 65°F and January about 12°F. A full turn of seasons, with the strongest sport on either side of summer. The lid usually goes in late April, which opens the strongest weeks of the year. Averages place the thaw at late April and the freeze at early December. The first weeks of open water and the last are the ones to plan for. On Moores Pond that shapes the whole year.

• Tackle & Baits

  Our records carry no access rule either way. Nothing is mapped in the way of a ramp or car park within a short radius. Bass water: a Texas-rigged worm near cover, a spinnerbait when you need to cover ground. Local rules can differ across the county line, so check where you stand. Close seasons apply to some species and not others. Lily Pond sits 0.7 miles off and takes the overflow. None of that is settled for Moores Pond in what we hold.
