Rating depth structure for brook trout.

27-acre lake near Shawtown Twp. 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.
Beaver Pond maps at 27 acres behind 0.9 miles of shoreline. At index 1.2 the outline is almost a bowl — read the depth changes, not the shoreline. Nothing on this chart breaks 15 ft, which makes the whole surface littoral: weeds, bait and ambush cover everywhere. Tip to tip the water measures near 0.3 mi with a 0.2-mi widest point. Piscataquis County claims this one. Its nearest charted neighbour, Third Roach Pond, is 1 mi to the northeast.
Early season brook trout use the shallows, holding in 1 to 7 ft. Even in summer they hold at 2 to 7 ft; winter keeps them in 1 to 7 ft. The chart's best answer is Deep basin — deep basin, 7 ft, prime for summer. 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.
| Season | Depth | Best window | Start at | Go-to baits |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Spring | 1 to 7 ft | dawn & dusk | Main-lake point (2 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 | Main-lake point (2 ft) | Small spoon (orange), Spinner |
| Winter | 1 to 7 ft | dawn | Deep basin (7 ft) | Small jigging spoon, Tungsten jig + plastic |
