Sandy Pond, part of the Sebasticook River drainage, is a shallow, weedy, warmwater pond that provides ideal- habitat for warmwater fish. Largemouth bass were introduced in 1958 and 1959 under the supervision of the Regional FishelY
Biologist. Studies in 1963 showed that tllis species is now becoming established. Numerous small, naturally-spawned
bass were netted in the shallow areas. Sandy Pond promises to become good bass fishing in a few years. Anglers who fish early in the morning or late in the evening have the best chances of catching largemouth bass. Bass feed most actively at these times, hiding frequently in the vicinity of sunken logs, stumps, and beneath lily pads. Surface lures are effective for taking bass in these locations.
