Anyone familiar with Brandy Pond may wonder why two species of coldwater fish appear in th list of fishes. 8randy Pond, due to its location, acts as a thoroughfare between and and provides an avenUe for all fish movement between these two larger lakes. The list of fishes thus includes all fish that frequent this water eVen though they may not be resident year-round.

Large numbers of white perch are present in Brandy Pond. Due to their abundance, they are generally small in size and not attractive to many anglers. They also compete with most other species for both food and space which tends to limit the' potential of other species, particularly salmon, trout, and smelt.

Smallmouth and largemouth bass provide the most significant fisheries. The small area of cold water and the competition from white perch preclude management of any coldwater fish in Brandy Pond.

Public and commercial boat ramps on Sebago Lake and Long Lake provide access to 8randy Pond.
