Welcome to town Mistah! I'm just around the corner in Orono. Mud pond is a decent choice for short drive. Its strictly a put and take fishery, no hold over from the previous year so as the winter goes on the number of trout in there goes down and down. Its not known for being great action, but hey its close! You have a hard time finding many trout ponds within a 30 min drive of home, but if you expand that out to 1 hr drive, there are ton of opportunities for brookies, splake, salmon, and touge (and warmwater fish). Do some research on lakes around the Milo area to the NW, Cold Stream Pond to the NE, or Bucksport-Amherst area to the SW for a bunch of fishing opportunities.
Hit me up if you have any questions or need a buddy. I'm out on the ice most weekends
