Molunkus Lake is a lake in Maine, near Aroostook County.
Molunkus Lake is a lake in Aroostook County, Maine and covers about 1,108 acres, with a deepest recorded spot of 38 feet.
Molunkus Lake is too large to fish all at once, so pick one group of coves and points and stay there long enough to learn what the fish are using.
Fish reported from Molunkus Lake include landlocked Atlantic salmon, brook trout, brown bullhead, brown trout, chain pickerel, pumpkinseed, smallmouth bass, white perch, and yellow perch.
For smallmouth bass at Molunkus, drag a tube or Ned rig across rock and points, or use a small crankbait when the fish are chasing.
For panfish at Molunkus, 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 at Molunkus, throw a small spoon or flashy swimbait along weeds for chain pickerel.
For brown bullheads at Molunkus, put a nightcrawler or small piece of cut bait on the bottom in quiet water, especially after sunset.
For trout at Molunkus, 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 at Molunkus, troll a smelt-colored streamer, thin spoon or small minnow plug for landlocked salmon and use a small jig, minnow or worm when white perch gather over deep flats and drop-offs.
Spring at Molunkus is a good time to check warm coves and incoming water, and summer is a good time to fish shade, weeds and the first drop into deeper water. Fall at Molunkus can bring fish back to windy points and banks, while winter calls for smaller baits fished slowly.
On a first trip to Molunkus, check one quiet cove, one rocky or firm point and the nearby deep water with a moving lure, then use a jig or worm where you find fish.
A medium spinning rod covers most casting at Molunkus, while a second rod with enough line and weight to reach deep water is useful for salmon.
At Molunkus, 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 at Molunkus is where a point, drop-off or group of baitfish gives the fish a reason to stop.
Landlocked Atlantic salmon is on the fish list for Molunkus, so start with a bait made for that fish instead of guessing at a species that may not be there.
