Fishing Savade Pond in Kennebec County, Maine

• Overview

  The Kennebec County entry here is Savade Pond, in Maine. It stands 223 feet above sea level. At about 62 acres, a day is enough to walk the shoreline properly. The bank runs about 1.5 miles all the way round, so one visit can cover most of it. Nearest town is Windsor, 2.3 miles off. Manchester sits 132 miles out, and it is the nearest city worth the name. Rules can differ a short way off, since the county line is near.

• Where to Fish on Savade Pond

  Our records carry no depth, so judge it from the bank. On a natural lake the weed line and the shelf beyond it do the work. This is a lake, so the margins and the first drop matter most. Public occurrence data for Kennebec County names brown trout, Atlantic salmon, largemouth bass, smallmouth bass and black crappie. Protected fish appear in the records for this area, so treat the list as information, not an invitation. Read Savade Pond before you fish it and the day goes better.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Between January at about 19°F and July at about 68°F, the water has a wide range to work through. Spring and autumn carry the fishing; summer and winter test it. Once it clears, about early April, the fishing comes on quickly. Climate figures give an open season running early April to mid December. Look to early summer and the first cool weeks of autumn. Expect Savade Pond to follow that timing.

• Tackle & Baits

  We have no record of the rules that apply on this bank. Records list it as a natural water body rather than an impoundment. Savade Pond gives a made launch, half a mile off. Bass water: a Texas-rigged worm near cover, a spinnerbait when you need to cover ground. Gates get locked out of season on water like this. Where parking is tight, arriving early solves most problems. Long Pond sits 2.2 miles off and takes the overflow. Nothing here settles the position at Savade Pond for certain.
