Flying Pond is a reservoir in Maine, near Kennebec County.
Flying Pond is a pond in Kennebec County, Maine and covers about 403 acres, with a deepest recorded spot of 80 feet, and the recorded storage amount is about 2,262 acre-feet.
Flying Pond has an old river or creek channel under the water, so start with channel bends, points and places where shallow water drops into the deep end.
Fish reported from Flying Pond include landlocked Atlantic salmon, brook trout, brown bullhead, brown trout, cusk, chain pickerel, largemouth bass, pumpkinseed, smallmouth bass, and yellow perch.
For bass in Flying, use a tube, Ned rig or small crankbait on rock for smallmouth, and fish weeds, wood and shade with a spinnerbait, jig or Texas-rigged worm for largemouth.
For panfish in Flying, use a worm or tiny jig near weeds and shade for pumpkinseed, and fish a small jig, minnow or worm close to the bottom for yellow perch.
For pike, pickerel or muskellunge in Flying, throw a small spoon or flashy swimbait along weeds for chain pickerel.
For brown bullheads in Flying, put a nightcrawler or small piece of cut bait on the bottom in quiet water, especially after sunset.
For trout in Flying, try a small spoon, inline spinner, streamer or worm near cool incoming water for brook trout, and use a small minnow plug, spoon or streamer in cool water for brown trout.
For deep-water fish in Flying, troll a smelt-colored streamer, thin spoon or small minnow plug for landlocked salmon and fish a jig or natural bait on the bottom in cold water or after dark for cusk.
Spring on Flying is a good time to check warm coves and incoming water, and summer fishing is usually better in cooler, deeper water. Fall on Flying can bring fish back to windy points and banks, while winter calls for smaller baits fished slowly.
On a first trip to Flying, check incoming water, one bend in the old channel and a point near deep water with a moving lure, then slow down with a jig or worm where you get a bite.
A medium spinning rod covers most casting at Flying, while a second rod with enough line and weight to reach deep water is useful for salmon.
On Flying, pick one cove and the closest point or drop into deep water, then fish that small area well before making a long move.
Not every trip. A better place on Flying is where a point, drop-off or group of baitfish gives the fish a reason to stop.
On Flying, it shows that a lot of the water sits away from the bank and around the old channel or deep end.
