This water thermally stratifies each summer, but only a small band of cold, oxygenated water is available for coldwater fish management. The Maine Department of Inland Fisheries and Wildlife introduced largemouth bass in 1960 and they now provide a self-sustaining fishery. This pond produces a small number of bass up to 4 or 5 pounds with pickerel and yellow perch providing additional angling opportunities.
General fishing laws apply. Motorboats over 6 horsepower prohibited.
