Flagstaff Lake is a public lake in Somerset County and Franklin County, Maine, managed by Maine Department of Inland Fisheries and Wildlife. It is public water managed for fishing by the Maine Department of Inland Fisheries and Wildlife. Public access confirmed via VT F&W fishing access area.
One of Maine's big North Woods or Rangeley-region lakes (Sebec, Rangeley, Mooselookmeguntic, Chesuncook, Flagstaff) — lake trout, landlocked salmon and brook trout in cold, clear, remote water.
Flagstaff Lake covers about 17,389 acres in the Western Lakes & Mountains region. Anglers here mostly fish for lake trout, landlocked salmon, brook trout, smallmouth bass; yellow perch are also on record. The nearest other mapped waters on PiscaMaps are DEAD RIVER Pond and Pond Stream.

Night fishing: Many Maine waters close to fishing from one hour after sunset to one hour before sunrise unless otherwise posted — always check the current Maine IF&W open water and ice fishing regulations for this specific water.
Boats: Moosehead, Sebago and the big lakes take full-size boats with developed launches; many North Woods ponds are fly-fishing-only or restricted to hand-carry access. Maine requires boater education for personal watercraft operators.
Bank & bivvy camping: Camp at Maine state parks (several on Sebago, Moosehead and the Rangeley Lakes) and in the North Maine Woods private-land recreation network (day-use/camping fee applies on those roads).
Tackle: Maine's fishing regulations are highly water-specific — general law sets a 5-trout/salmon combined limit and a 25-bass limit on most waters, but hundreds of lakes and rivers carry special rules (fly-fishing-only, artificial lures only, reduced limits). Always check the current Maine IF&W law book for this specific water.
