Bakers Pond Description
Baker Pond is a 26 acre, natural kettlehole pond with a maximum depth of 60 feet and an average depth of 18 feet. Transparency is good, extending to 11 feet or more, but aquatic vegetation is scarce. The shoreline is moderately developed with houses, but for the most part the 1.1 miles of shoreline are forested in scrub pine and oak. Baker Pond is located in the eastern portion of Orleans just west of Route 6. To get to the pond from the Sagamore Bridge, take Route 6 east to Exit 12 (Route 6A). Take a left on to Route 6A (back under Route 6) and then take your first left onto Baker Pond Road. Access to the pond is provided by the Massachusetts Division of Fisheries of Wildlife over a small beach area on the west side of the road with parking for approximately eight vehicles. There is no launching ramp, but canoes and car-top boats can be launched over the beach area. Most of the shoreline is easily wadeable. There is a 10 horsepower motor limit enforced by the town of Orleans. Fish:pumpkinseed, smallmouth bass, brown bullhead, banded killifish, golden shiner, yellow perch, American eel, brown trout and rainbow trout.
Summer anglers seeking trout should look for the fish at depths of 20 to 35 feet. All the standard trout baits and lures are effective, but if all else fails, try drift-jigging a small streamer or grass shrimp about two feet behind a split shot within the depth range mentioned above. Don’t overlook the smallmouth bass here. Although not as plentiful as stocked trout, there are enough to offer fair bass fishing action, and some of them are quite large. Try bucktails and eel imitations along the bottom. Some anglers find they do best with live bait in the form of grass shrimp.
