RAYMOND POND Raymond Twp., Cumberland Co. U.S.G.S. Raymond, Me. (7 1/2') Fishes Brook trout Brown trout Rainbow smelt Smallmouth bass Largemouth bass White perch Yellow perch Chain pickerel Physical Area Minnows Golden shiner Banded killifish White sucker Pumpkinseed sunfish Hornpout (bullhead) Cusk American eel Characteristics - 346 acres Maximum Temperatures Surface - 74°F depth - 42 feet 41 feet - 49°F Principal smallmouth fisheries: bass Largemouth Rocky shorelines, weedy coves, and a good forage base all contribute to sustain· a quality bass fishery in Raymond Pond. The whi te perch have become so numerous that their average size is too small and undesirable to most fishermen. Smelts are present, but competition and predation from the other fish have kept the population relatively low. Lakes and ponds in southern Maine are extremely valuable from a recreational standpoint. Hopefully the local residents around Raymond Pond will assist the Department of Inland Fisheries and Wildlife in locating suitable public access to this lake so that annual stocking and an active management program may be resumed. bass, Stocking was discontinued at Raymond Pond in 1987 due to a lack of public access. For years this pond consistently produced a quality brown trout fishery, however, the lake is now managed for warmwater species only. Some natural reproduction of trout occurs in the tributaries but competition is too severe to allow adequate survival of young trout in the lake. Consequently, the trout population has been reduced to a very low level since the annual stocking program was discontinued.
