Fisher’s Paradise in Belgrade Lakes, Maine
By Deborah S. Nelson, Author/Publisher VRTG
Vacationing according to your niche is key to enjoy desirable activities during your getaway. Hence, fishing enthusiasts flock to the Belgrade Lakes in Maine. Located in the heart of the Kennebec Valley Region, the Belgrade Lakes consists of seven lakes and ponds. These lakes are highly favored for fishing northern pike, landlocked salmon, brook trout, as well as both largemouth and smallmouth bass. Of course, during the winter the lakes are open for ice fishing while visitors can also enjoy swimming and boating during warmer seasons.
Which Pond to Choose from Belgrade Lakes?
Out of the seven lakes and ponds, three are most significant. The Great Pond sits about 8,339 acres wide and 69 feet deep. As the name suggests, the Great Pond is the largest of the Belgrade Lakes chain. Therefore, it is favored for fishing several types of trout, bass, and landlocked salmon. Nevertheless, Long Pond is historically the top producer of landlocked salmon. This pond stretches across 2,714 between Belgrade, Rome, and Mt. Vernon.
