39-acre lake near Bowmantown Twp. The lake tops out around 9 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.
The outline encloses 39 acres, worked by 1.2 miles of shoreline. A shoreline index of 1.4 says round and simple: fish relate to depth changes here, not shoreline features. There is no deep basin to speak of — the entire surface is under ~15 ft, prime weed water end to end. The basin spans about 0.4 mi end to end and 0.3 mi across at its widest. Oxford County claims this one. Abbie Pond sits 2 mi east — the closest neighbouring chart.
Come spring, look for brook trout tight to the bank in 1 to 9 ft. Through summer count on 3 to 9 ft; the winter hold is 1 to 9 ft. If you only fish one area, make it Deep basin: a deep basin around 8 ft that scores prime in summer. Best bite is early morning and the evening. A small spoon fished deep or a trolled lake-clear wobbler + worm is the honest summer answer here.
| Season | Depth | Best window | Start at | Go-to baits |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Spring | 1 to 9 ft | dawn & dusk | Main-lake point (2 ft) | Small inline spinner (gold), Tiny spoon |
| Summer | 3 to 9 ft | dawn & dusk | Deep basin (8 ft) | Small spoon fished deep, Trolled lake-clear wobbler + worm |
| Fall | 1 to 9 ft | midday & dawn | Main-lake point (2 ft) | Small spoon (orange), Spinner |
| Winter | 1 to 9 ft | dawn | Deep basin (8 ft) | Small jigging spoon, Tungsten jig + plastic |
Structure-wise the chart holds 5 features, led in depth by Deep basin at roughly 8 ft.
