Upper Bluffer Pond Fishing Guide, Piscataquis County, Maine

• Overview

  Upper Bluffer Pond is listed under Piscataquis County, Maine. It sits in rolling bush country. The water measures roughly 16 acres, so nothing here is far from anything else.

• Where to Fish on Upper Bluffer Pond

  Depth here is unknown, so count the lead down before committing. A soft bed grows weed late into autumn, which keeps fish shallow. Look for the band where the shallows give up and the bottom falls away. Reported across Piscataquis County: Atlantic salmon, rainbow smelt and brook trout. At least one recorded species is protected in parts of its range; read the local rules before targeting anything. On Upper Bluffer Pond the first feature you find is usually worth a session.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Averages here run 64°F at the top of summer and 8°F at the bottom of winter. The middle months are generous; the ends are demanding. Once it clears, about late April, the fishing comes on quickly. Ice usually gives way near late April, and forms again about late November. September and October fish steadily right up to the freeze. Expect Upper Bluffer Pond to follow that timing.

• Tackle & Baits

  We hold no note on access for this one. No launch point is recorded nearby, so this is a bank water unless you carry a boat in. A small crankbait along the drop and a worm in the thick stuff cover the bass. Check whether a boat is allowed before you tow one. Fishing rules and camping rules are set separately here. The nearest alternative is Upper Partridge Pond, 1.2 miles out. Confirm access to Upper Bluffer Pond locally before you travel.
