50-acre pond near Newport. The lake tops out around 3 ft. What you see is a modeled chart: the shoreline is real, the max depth is published, and the contours between are estimated. Plan with it; don't navigate by it. Here is how the season plays out for each species, straight from the data behind the map.
Traced from the shoreline, Almy Pond runs 49 acres with 1.3 miles of edge. Nearly circular (index 1.4), so the story is the bottom, not the bank. Every acre of it sits shallower than ~15 ft: one big littoral zone, cover and forage throughout. End to end it runs roughly 0.5 mi, about 0.2 mi across. You'll find it in Newport County. Closest neighbour on DepthScout: Brenton Cove, 1 mi northwest of here.
In spring, largemouth bass run shallow here, mostly 1 to 3 ft. Summer keeps them at 1 to 3 ft, and they winter in 1 to 3 ft. Spring largemouth bass concentrate at Shallow bay flat, a prime-rated weed flat around 3 ft. Fish it in early morning and the evening and you'll meet the bite. You won't need more than a texas-rigged 10" worm or a deep-diving crankbait most summer days.
| Season | Depth | Best window | Start at | Go-to baits |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Spring | 1 to 3 ft | dawn & dusk | Shallow bay flat (3 ft) | Spinnerbait, Chatterbait |
| Summer | 1 to 3 ft | dawn & dusk | Shallow bay flat (3 ft) | Texas-rigged 10" worm, Deep-diving crankbait |
| Fall | 1 to 3 ft | midday & dawn | Main-lake point (3 ft) | Squarebill crankbait (shad), Spinnerbait |
| Winter | 1 to 3 ft | midday | Break off the point (1 ft) | Blade bait, Jigging spoon |
The spring pattern is a shallow one: rainbow trout in 1 to 3 ft. The depth story barely changes: 1 to 3 ft through summer, 1 to 3 ft in winter. Top water on the chart: Break off the point, a drop-off in the 1 ft range, prime in winter. Time it for early morning and the evening. Summer baits: a dodger + spoon (deep troll) or a flutter spoon gets it done.
| Season | Depth | Best window | Start at | Go-to baits |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Spring | 1 to 3 ft | dawn & dusk | Main-lake point (3 ft) | Inline spinner (silver), Small spoon |
| Summer | 1 to 3 ft | dawn & dusk | Break off the point (1 ft) | Dodger + spoon (deep troll), Flutter spoon |
| Fall | 1 to 3 ft | dawn & dusk | Main-lake point (3 ft) | Casting spoon, Jerkbait over shoals |
| Winter | 1 to 3 ft | dawn | Break off the point (1 ft) | Jigging spoon, Tube jig (white) |
Structure-wise the chart holds 5 features, led in depth by Main-lake point at roughly 3 ft.
