29-acre lake near T15 R9 WELS. The lake tops out around 5 ft. The depth chart comes from published agency bathymetric survey data, so the contours are survey-derived rather than computer-modeled. What follows comes from the same scoring engine that paints the spots above.
Traced from the shoreline, 5th Pelletier Brook Lk runs 28 acres with 1.8 miles of edge. The 2.4 development index tells the story — a convoluted bank whose fishable edge far outruns the acreage. There is no deep basin to speak of — the entire surface is under ~15 ft, prime weed water end to end. Figure 0.7 mi of water from one end to the other, 0.2 mi at the beam. You'll find it in Aroostook County. For a second option, Gardner Pond lies 1 mi south.
In spring, brook trout run shallow here, mostly 1 to 5 ft. Summer keeps them at 2 to 5 ft, and they winter in 1 to 5 ft. Deep basin is the standout, a deep basin at roughly 4 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 5 ft | dawn & dusk | Main-lake point (2 ft) | Small inline spinner (gold), Tiny spoon |
| Summer | 2 to 5 ft | dawn & dusk | Deep basin (4 ft) | Small spoon fished deep, Trolled lake-clear wobbler + worm |
| Fall | 1 to 5 ft | midday & dawn | Main-lake point (2 ft) | Small spoon (orange), Spinner |
| Winter | 1 to 5 ft | dawn | Deep basin (4 ft) | Small jigging spoon, Tungsten jig + plastic |
