• Where to Fish on Waterville Pond

  Depth figures are not published for this one. Levels move with the draw rather than the rain on water like this. Look for where the old bank line still shows under the surface. Records held for Plymouth County cover tessellated darter, striped bass and bluegill. Species recorded across the county may be limited to a few waters. Read Waterville Pond before you fish it and the day goes better.

• Tackle & Baits

  Access is not recorded for this water. 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. Check locally before you travel, because a wasted drive is a long one. Check whether bait restrictions apply before you buy any. Failing this one, try Beaton - Lebaron Bog Reservoir, 1.1 miles away. Signs at Waterville Pond carry more weight than any list.
