THOMAS POND is located in Casco and Raymond. It is easily reached from Rt. 302. It is a pretty, fairly quiet lake, with minimal motorboat traffic, though some find it satisfactory for waterskiing. In 1989, the largest smallmouth bass caught in Maine came from Thomas Pond. Principal fishery: brook trout, landlocked salmon, largemouth bass, smallmouth bass, chain pickerel, white perch. Thomas Pond is well suited for both coldwater and warm water fisheries management. Shallow weedy coves, rocky shorelines, and a large forage base provide the necessary requirements to support a quality bass and pickerel fishery. In addition, the pond has enough cold well-oxygenated water to support a good trout and salmon population. The outlet of Thomas Pond drains directly into Sebago Lake, therefore, any fish stocked in Thomas Pond have the potential to drop down into Sebago. Consequently, the brown trout management program was discontinued many years ago in order to reduce potential conflicts with Sebago’s landlocked salmon. The public access to Thomas Pond is located near the outlet on Route 302 at the Raymond/Casco town line. Access is limited to small boats due to low clearance under the Route 302 bridge. It is necessary to travel upstream in order to reach the main lake.
