Mays Pond

This Washington County water is recorded as Mays Pond, a lake, and I would spend the first part of the trip around one short area near the launch until I get a useful answer from the first area. On unfamiliar water, I would rather fish one sheltered area near the launch until I get a useful answer from the first adjustment than make several random moves.

Mays Pond Size, Maximum Depth and Volume

Surface area, maximum depth, and storage are not well documented for Mays Pond, so I would keep those values open until a current management document publishes a figure while I work one straightforward piece of water until I get a useful clue from the first few casts.

Fishing This Water

A dependable species list for Mays Pond is still hard to verify, so a first trip makes more sense with one versatile setup with a jig, spinner, and bait rig around one promising piece of water, staying flexible until I get a useful clue from the nearby water. I would rather use a small selection of dependable baits around one easy-to-read section of bank on Mays Pond and wait until I get a useful clue from the first hour before changing direction.

A Practical Mays Pond Game Plan

A practical first day on Mays Pond starts with one manageable section of bank and one target species; from there I would change depth before changing every bait after I see enough in the first setup. If I see enough in the opening stretch, I would keep working one nearby shoreline stretch on Mays Pond and treat that as the main lesson from the first visit. If I get a clear read from the first few casts, I would keep track of the depth and presentation around one short shoreline stretch so the next trip to Mays Pond starts with a real plan.
