19-acre lake near Bowdoin College Grant East Twp. The lake tops out around 11 ft. The depth chart comes from published agency bathymetric survey data, so the contours are survey-derived rather than computer-modeled. The season-by-season read for each species follows, from the map's own numbers.
Drawn out, this is 19 acres of water rimmed by 0.9 miles of bank. The shoreline is moderately structured (index 1.6) — enough points and pockets to pattern. Nothing on this chart breaks 15 ft, which makes the whole surface littoral: weeds, bait and ambush cover everywhere. Figure 0.4 mi of water from one end to the other. You'll find it in Piscataquis County. Closest neighbour on DepthScout: 1st Little Lyford Pond, 0 mi southeast of here.
In spring, brook trout run shallow here, mostly 1 to 11 ft. Summer keeps them at 3 to 11 ft, and they winter in 2 to 11 ft. Deep basin is the standout, a deep basin at roughly 10 ft, rated prime for summer brook trout. Time it for early morning and the evening. You won't need more than a small spoon fished deep or a trolled lake-clear wobbler + worm most summer days.
| Season | Depth | Best window | Start at | Go-to baits |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Spring | 1 to 11 ft | dawn & dusk | Main-lake point (3 ft) | Small inline spinner (gold), Tiny spoon |
