• Where to Fish on Mosher Pond

  Depth is not on record here, which means reading the ground instead. 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. Across Kennebec County, recorded fish include brown trout, Atlantic salmon, largemouth bass and smallmouth bass. Some of the species recorded here are protected or tightly regulated, so check what may be targeted before you fish. Take Mosher Pond a stretch at a time.

• Seasonal Patterns

  July is the warm end of the year here, averaging about 68°F, while January sits near 17°F. Winter shuts the surface down for months. The freeze runs deep into the year, with break-up near mid April. The season between ice runs from about mid April to early December. Reckon on open water from spring through to late autumn, with May and June the strongest. It holds true on Mosher Pond more years than not.

• Tackle & Baits

  Whether the bank is open is not something our records settle. It formed naturally, so levels move with rainfall rather than with a gate. Public data shows nothing built here, so treat the whole approach as informal. 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. Some stretches are reserved and marked as such on the ground. Failing this one, try Moose Hill Pond, 1.7 miles away.
