Moxie Pond Fishing in Somerset County, Maine

• Overview

  Moxie Pond belongs to Somerset County, Maine. It sits at 965 feet above sea level. At 3.5 sq miles this is proper open water rather than a pond. The perimeter is close to 23 miles, and wind can be flat in one arm and rough in the next. On our Somerset County list it sits near the top for size. Greenville sits 16 miles from here and is the nearest stop. Further out sit Sangerville (26 miles) and Kingfield (29 miles). The county line is nowhere near, so one local authority covers the water.

• Where to Fish on Moxie Pond

  Depth is unknown to us, and the shoreline is the better guide. A reservoir gives you a hard edge, a shelf, and not much else. Held water runs deepest at the wall and shallows back to the inflow. County-wide records name Atlantic salmon, brown trout, smallmouth bass and rainbow smelt. Some of the species recorded here are protected or tightly regulated, so check what may be targeted before you fish. Work Moxie Pond in sections rather than trying to cover it.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Seasonal averages run from 11°F in January up to 64°F in July. Fishing here follows the temperature more than the calendar. Winter locks it down, and late April brings it back. The season between ice runs from about late April to late November. Fishing peaks soon after break-up and again before the cold returns. It sets the rhythm of the year at Moxie Pond.

• Tackle & Baits

  We have no record of the rules that apply on this bank. Nothing built is recorded close to the bank here. A small crankbait along the drop and a worm in the thick stuff cover the bass. Rules differ from one water to the next round here. Night access is frequently treated as a separate matter. Mosquito Pond sits 1.8 miles off and takes the overflow.
