Just north of the shop is Pierce Pond, considered by many to be one of Maine's finest "Big Water" native brook trout fisheries. East and West Carry Ponds are also worth trying when you are in the Pierce Pond area.

Further north, you will encounter what I feel is the best concentration of "wild" brook trout ponds found anywhere in the state. Protected by years of strict regulations, these ponds are consistent producers!

Located between Route 201 on the west and the Kennebec Gorge on the east lies what are known as "Cold Stream" and the "10,000 Acre Tract". Both watersheds contain multiple ponds with better than average fishing.

Try Cold Stream, Lang and Big Berry ponds as well as Ellis, Round and Horseshoe. Also, there are numerous other small ponds and streams that receive much less pressure and can produce a trophy "Brookie" at any time.

Be sure to be here for the "Hex" hatch starting in late June/early July and running into August. It is during this time that the largest dry fly caught fish of the year are taken (we stock over 20 "Hex" patterns)!
