13-acre pond near MADBURY. The lake tops out around 40 ft. The depth chart is built from real state fisheries GPS surveys, so the humps, channels and drop-offs you see are measured, not guessed. What follows comes from the same scoring engine that paints the spots above.
BARBADOES POND maps at 13 acres behind 0.6 miles of shoreline. Its 1.2 shoreline index means few bank features; the contours below do the pattern work. The shallow band under 15 ft claims about 27% of the surface — that's where the groceries are. Figure 0.3 mi of water from one end to the other. Strafford County claims this one. Its nearest charted neighbour, Bellamy Reservoir, is 1 mi to the west.
Early season brook trout use the shallows, holding in 2 to 15 ft. Summer is a 10 to 30 ft game here, winter a 3 to 20 ft one. The chart's best answer is Main-lake point — point, 13 ft, prime for spring. Best bite is early morning and the evening. Tie on a small spoon fished deep or a trolled lake-clear wobbler + worm and you're in the game.
