Wood Pond

Wood Pond is a pond in Somerset County, Maine, but a reliable surface-area number was not found, and a reliable maximum depth was not found.

What to Expect at Wood Pond

Wood Pond is best learned by checking visible cover, incoming water and the first drop into deeper water instead of assuming it fishes like another pond with a similar name.

Fish and Useful Baits at Wood Pond

Fish reported from Wood Pond include landlocked Atlantic salmon, brook trout, cusk, smallmouth bass, splake, and yellow perch.

Bass

For smallmouth bass in Wood, drag a tube or Ned rig across rock and points, or use a small crankbait when the fish are chasing.

Perch and Sunfish

For panfish in Wood, fish a small jig, minnow or worm close to the bottom for yellow perch.

Trout

For trout in Wood, try a small spoon, inline spinner, streamer or worm near cool incoming water for brook trout.

Salmon, Lake Trout and Other Deep-Water Fish

For deep-water fish in Wood, troll a smelt-colored streamer, thin spoon or small minnow plug for landlocked salmon and use a small spoon, jig or minnow-shaped lure in cool water for splake. Also in Wood, fish a jig or natural bait on the bottom in cold water or after dark for cusk.

A Simple Fishing Plan for Wood Pond

When you first fish Wood, 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.

When to Fish Wood Pond

Spring on Wood 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 Wood can bring fish back to windy points and banks, while winter calls for smaller baits fished slowly.
