Third Davis Pond near Sangerville: Fishing Spots, Seasons and Access

• Overview

  Third Davis Pond stands in Piscataquis County, Maine. The ground around here is lake country bush. The water measures roughly 15 acres, so nothing here is far from anything else. Sangerville sits 6.5 miles from here and is the nearest stop. Sherbrooke sits 121 miles out, and it is the nearest city worth the name. No boundary runs near, so the county rules hold throughout.

• Where to Fish on Third Davis Pond

  No depth figure has reached our records, which makes a plummet useful. Where the bottom changes texture, fish gather; find that line. On a natural lake the weed line and the shelf beyond it do the work. Public occurrence data for Piscataquis County names Atlantic salmon, rainbow smelt, brook trout and brown trout. Several of these carry legal protection or closed seasons; the rulebook comes before the rod. At Third Davis Pond the water rewards a slow, careful approach.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Averages move between 13°F in January and 66°F in July. Winter shuts things down for a spell, then spring reopens them fast. After mid April the shallows warm and the fish move up. On average, mid April opens the water and early December closes it again. The shoulder weeks of the open season are the productive ones. Third Davis Pond runs to that rhythm year in and year out.

• Tackle & Baits

  Ownership and access are not documented in what we hold. Mapping shows an empty shoreline: no ramp, no jetty, no marked entry. For the bass here, soft plastics worked slow along cover and a spinnerbait for searching do most of the work. Where access is informal, keep it that way by behaving. Check whether bait restrictions apply before you buy any. If the gate is shut, Fourth Davis Pond at 0.9 miles is the nearest alternative. Signs at Third Davis Pond carry more weight than any list.
