Fishing at Supply Pond, Somerset County, Maine

With about 1.4 miles of edge, you can try several depths in one session. Linière lies 26 miles from the water. For a city, Sherbrooke is 84 miles off. It sits well inside the county, so one set of rules covers it.

• Where to Fish on Supply Pond

  Depth figures are not published for this one. A soft bed grows weed late into autumn, which keeps fish shallow. On a natural lake the weed line and the shelf beyond it do the work. County-wide records name Atlantic salmon, brown trout, smallmouth bass and rainbow smelt. Protected fish appear in the records for this area, so treat the list as information, not an invitation. Supply Pond gives up more to patience than to distance.

• Seasonal Patterns

  The range across the year is 10°F to 64°F. Expect a real winter and a strong spring after it. 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 late November. The strong weeks are the first after break-up and the last before the freeze. Expect Supply Pond to follow that timing.

• 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. No slipway, car park or made path shows up nearby in mapping, so treat access as rough. Sort the permit out before you load the car. Check whether bait restrictions apply before you buy any. Should this one be busy, Coburn Pond is 3.7 miles off. Treat Supply Pond as unsettled until someone local tells you otherwise.
