Second Currier Pond, Maine: Fishing Spots and Seasons

• Overview

  Second Currier Pond stands in Piscataquis County, Maine. It sits at 1,270 feet above sea level. At about 31 acres, a day is enough to walk the shoreline properly. Roughly 0.9 miles of bank means you can walk to a fresh area when one goes quiet. Nearest place of any size is Patten, 43 miles away. Further out sit Saint-Pamphile (49 miles) and Presque Isle (55 miles). It lies deep inside the county rather than near an edge.

• Where to Fish on Second Currier Pond

  Nothing we hold settles how deep this runs. Look for the band where the shallows give up and the bottom falls away. A natural lake fishes on cover, and cover here means weed and timber. Reported across Piscataquis County: Atlantic salmon, rainbow smelt, brook trout and brown trout. Some of the species recorded here are protected or tightly regulated, so check what may be targeted before you fish. Second Currier Pond gives up more to patience than to distance.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Climate normals give 64°F for July and 8°F for January. Four clear seasons, with a proper winter at one end. Once it clears, about late April, the fishing comes on quickly. The water is typically free of ice between late April and late November. Fishing peaks soon after break-up and again before the cold returns. Anyone fishing Second Currier Pond regularly works to that calendar.

• Tackle & Baits

  There is no clear statement anywhere on who can fish it. No dam controls it, and the level follows the season. No launch point is recorded nearby, so this is a bank water unless you carry a boat in. For the bass here, soft plastics worked slow along cover and a spinnerbait for searching do most of the work. Rules for this water may differ from the county norm. Where parking is tight, arriving early solves most problems. First Currier Pond, 0.5 miles away, makes the obvious fallback. Signs at Second Currier Pond carry more weight than any list.
