Unknown Pond Fishing in Washington County, Maine

• Overview

  Look for Unknown Pond in Washington County, Maine. It stands 354 feet above sea level. About 4 acres of surface, which puts the far bank inside easy sight. Our Washington County list holds plenty of bigger water. Head to Cherryfield, 23 miles away, for anything you forgot. The nearest city of size is Sherbrooke, 188 miles away. This one is safely inside the county line.

• Where to Fish on Unknown Pond

  Depth is not on record here, so the bank has to tell you. Look for the band where the shallows give up and the bottom falls away. Weed, then depth: that is the order to fish a water of this kind. County-wide records name alewife, Atlantic salmon, rainbow smelt and brown trout. Protected fish appear in the records for this area, so treat the list as information, not an invitation. At Unknown Pond the water rewards a slow, careful approach.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Expect July to average close to 67°F, with January the cold end at about 16°F. Expect a real winter and a strong spring after it. Count on hard cover from midwinter, and open water from mid April. Break-up near mid April, freeze-up near early December: that is the shape of an average year. Late spring and early autumn carry the year between them. It sets the rhythm of the year at Unknown Pond.

• Tackle & Baits

  Our records carry no access rule either way. We find no slipway, car park or made path within a short radius, so treat access as rough. Bass water: a Texas-rigged worm near cover, a spinnerbait when you need to cover ground. Season dates differ by species, so read the table. Where tickets apply, they are sold in the nearest town rather than on the bank. Twentyeight Pond at 0.9 miles is the sensible second choice. For Unknown Pond, the notice at the access point is the final word.
