Spednic Lake is a long and beautiful lake whose numerous coves, peninsulas and islands make for many miles of fishable shoreline. Besides bass and cold water species, white perch and pickerel abound. The shores are fringed with granite boulders and sun-bleached driftwood, the water cold and clear. The boat landing on Spednic is just two miles from camp. Baskahegan Lake is a bass factory, with enormous productivity of all warmwater species.
Wildlife is everywhere.
This large and relatively shallow lake is carved in shale, and is teeming with action. Along with Jackson Brook Lake, Baskahegan belongs to the Penobscot River watershed, unlike most nearby waters which flow to the St. Croix. Stream fishing is excellent, but timing is essential. Fly-casting for landlocks is most effective in May and September. As these waters adjust to ambient temperatures, landlocks move into the deeper waters during mid-summer.
