Have you fished at Sennebec Pond? Be the first to comment on this fishing spot.
Sennebec Pond was initially surveyed in 1941 for fishery management
purposes. It was resurveyed in 1960. Both studies
show that this pond is mainly a warmwater fish habitat, and
that the deep cool water is marginal in dissolved oxygen for
coldwater species.
Fishermen angling for warmwater fish have recently expressed
concern over the poor quality of summer bass fishing.
In 1960, biologists found several year classes of small bass,
which may be indicative of an improvement in bass fishing at
Sennebec Pond.
Largemouth bass are established in the headwaters of the
St. George River drainage and will eventually migrate into
Sennebec Pond. Sennebec provides suitable habitat for largemouth
bass, and, once this species becomes established, they
should provide good fishing.
An introduction of hatchery largemouths in the near future
would hasten their establishment and is worthy of consideration.
Your department would be glad to introduce largemouth
bass if anglers are interested in the introduction.
Since 1941, some brown trout fishing has been provided by
both stocking and natural reproduction in the tributaries. The value of the brown trout stocking is questionable since few
brown trout anglers report catching many of these fish.
No other species should be introduced or stocked.
