Rating depth structure for brook trout.

67-acre lake near Hammond. The lake tops out around 7 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.
On the chart, B Lake draws 67 acres inside 1.4 miles of shoreline — one island included. Nearly circular (index 1.2), so the story is the bottom, not the bank. There is no deep basin to speak of — the entire surface is under ~15 ft, prime weed water end to end. Figure 0.5 mi of water from one end to the other, 0.3 mi at the beam. The water lies in Aroostook County. Closest neighbour on DepthScout: Read Lake, 10 mi west of here.
Start shallow in spring: brook trout sit in 1 to 7 ft that time of year. They don't go far with the seasons — 2 to 7 ft covers summer, 1 to 7 ft covers winter. Top water on the chart: Deep basin, a deep basin in the 7 ft range, prime in summer. Fish it in early morning and the evening and you'll meet the bite. Throw a small spoon fished deep or a trolled lake-clear wobbler + worm until the fish tell you otherwise.
| Season | Depth | Best window | Start at | Go-to baits |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Spring | 1 to 7 ft | dawn & dusk | Shallow bay flat (3 ft) | Small inline spinner (gold), Tiny spoon |
| Summer | 2 to 7 ft | dawn & dusk | Deep basin (7 ft) | Small spoon fished deep, Trolled lake-clear wobbler + worm |
| Fall | 1 to 7 ft | midday & dawn | open water | Small spoon (orange), Spinner |
| Winter | 1 to 7 ft | dawn | Deep basin (7 ft) | Small jigging spoon, Tungsten jig + plastic |
