Meddybemps Lake

Meddybemps Lake sits in Maine, United States and offers the kind of structure-driven lake fishing that suits both bank anglers and those working from a small boat or float tube. Fish on a stillwater like this don't move much during the heat of the day — finding shade, cooler thermoclines, or current from inflowing streams is the local trick. Most successful trips to Meddybemps Lake come down to reading the water before tying on a lure.

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 White perch

  White perch often school, so if you catch one, stay in that area to find more. Vary your retrieve speed until you find what they prefer.
