Flanders Pond is a reservoir in Maine, near Hancock County.
Flanders Pond is a pond in Hancock County, Maine and covers about 535 acres, and a reliable maximum depth was not found.
Flanders Pond was made by holding back a river or creek, making the old channel, bends and quiet coves sensible places to begin.
Fish reported from Flanders Pond include brook trout, brown bullhead, brown trout, chain pickerel, pumpkinseed, rainbow trout, smallmouth bass, and white perch.
For smallmouth bass in Flanders, drag a tube or Ned rig across rock and points, or use a small crankbait when the fish are chasing.
For panfish in Flanders, use a worm or tiny jig near weeds and shade for pumpkinseed.
For pike, pickerel or muskellunge in Flanders, throw a small spoon or flashy swimbait along weeds for chain pickerel.
For brown bullheads in Flanders, put a nightcrawler or small piece of cut bait on the bottom in quiet water, especially after sunset.
For trout in Flanders, 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, and cast a small spoon or inline spinner, or drift a worm, for rainbow trout.
For deep-water fish in Flanders, use a small jig, minnow or worm when white perch gather over deep flats and drop-offs.
Spring on Flanders 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 on Flanders can bring fish back to windy points and banks, while winter calls for smaller baits fished slowly.
On a first trip to Flanders, 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 with 8- to 10-pound line handles most jigs, worms and small lures at Flanders, while a medium-heavy rod is better for bass jigs and heavier bottom rigs.
On Flanders, pick one cove and the closest point or drop into deep water, then fish that small area well before making a long move.
A reliable depth number was not found for Flanders, so anglers should rely on what they can see and what their lure touches.
Brook trout is on the fish list for Flanders, so start with a bait made for that fish instead of guessing at a species that may not be there.
