Tobey Pond Fishing near Greenville, Maine

• Overview

  Set in Somerset County, Maine, this is Tobey Pond. Country round the bank runs to lake country bush. About 11 acres of surface, which puts the far bank inside easy sight. On size it sits at the modest end of our Somerset County list. Greenville at 19 miles is the nearest place to stop. Kingfield lies 35 miles off, Sangerville another 36 miles. This one is safely inside the county line.

• Where to Fish on Tobey Pond

  Depth is unknown to us, and the shoreline is the better guide. Still water like this holds fish on the edges rather than out in the open. Where the bottom changes texture, fish gather; find that line. Across Somerset County, recorded fish include Atlantic salmon, brown trout and smallmouth bass. Several of these carry legal protection or closed seasons; the rulebook comes before the rod. Fish Tobey Pond where the bottom changes rather than where it looks deep.

• Seasonal Patterns

  The warm month here averages 64°F; the cold one sits at 10°F. The middle months are generous; the ends are demanding. Hard water holds through the cold months, breaking up near late April. From about late April to around late November, expect open water on the long-run figures. The strong weeks are the first after break-up and the last before the freeze. At Tobey Pond the season follows that pattern closely.

• Tackle & Baits

  Access status is simply unknown for this water. Nothing built is recorded close to the bank here. Bass water: a Texas-rigged worm near cover, a spinnerbait when you need to cover ground. Ask in the nearest town if you are unsure. Where parking is tight, arriving early solves most problems. Failing this one, try Little Wilson Hill Pond, 1.1 miles away.
