About Ellis Pond
Ellis Pond is a lake in Maine, United States, and one of the still-water destinations covered by WikiCatch's global fishing-spot directory. Lake fishing here generally rewards patient anglers who watch for cruising fish along weed-lines, drop-offs, and shaded banks.

Fishing Techniques
- For Smallmouth bass
Focus your fishing efforts around rocky structures, ledges, and areas with current, as smallmouth bass prefer these habitats.
- For Chain pickerel
Use a wire leader to prevent bite-offs due to pickerel's sharp teeth, and vary your retrieve speed until you find what they're hitting.
- For Black crappie
Vary your retrieve speed until you find what the crappie are responding to; sometimes slow and steady is best, other times a twitching action triggers strikes.
