Green Lake is a reservoir in Maine, near Hancock County.
Green Lake northeast of Wormwood Pond is a reservoir in Hancock County, Maine and covers about 3,133 acres, with a deepest recorded spot of 170 feet, and the recorded storage amount is about 107,000 acre-feet.
Green Lake in Hancock County is a very deep 170-foot depth with Arctic char on its fish list, salmon, togue and smallmouth bass.
Arctic char makes this fish list unusual even by Maine cold-water lakes. The same lake also holds brook trout, salmon, togue, pickerel and two perch species.
Fish reported from Green Lake northeast of Wormwood Pond include arctic char, landlocked Atlantic salmon, brook trout, brown bullhead, chain pickerel, lake trout, pumpkinseed, smallmouth bass, white perch, and yellow perch.
For smallmouth bass on Green, drag a tube or Ned rig across rock and points, or use a small crankbait when the fish are chasing.
For panfish on Green, 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 on Green, throw a small spoon or flashy swimbait along weeds for chain pickerel.
For brown bullheads on Green, put a nightcrawler or small piece of cut bait on the bottom in quiet water, especially after sunset.
For trout on Green, try a small spoon, inline spinner, streamer or worm near cool incoming water for brook trout.
For deep-water fish on Green, troll a smelt-colored streamer, thin spoon or small minnow plug for landlocked salmon and jig or troll a spoon or minnow-shaped lure in cold, deep water for lake trout. Also on Green, work a small spoon or jig slowly in the coldest deep water for Arctic char and use a small jig, minnow or worm when white perch gather over deep flats and drop-offs.
Fish deep for Arctic char and togue with small spoons or jigs near cold baitfish. Use tubes on rocky shelves for smallmouth and light jigs for perch.
On a first trip to Green, 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.
Spring around Green is a good time to check warm coves and incoming water, and summer fishing is usually better in cooler, deeper water. Fall around Green can bring fish back to windy points and banks, while winter calls for smaller baits fished slowly.
A medium spinning rod covers most casting at Green, while a second rod with enough line and weight to reach deep water is useful for salmon, togue, and Arctic char.
The depth helps preserve the low temperatures required by Arctic char and togue.
A small spoon or jig in cold water best fits Arctic char.
It is a water-specific target and should not be generalized to other Maine lakes named Green.
