64-acre lake near T2 R12 WELS. The lake tops out around 11 ft. The depth chart comes from published agency bathymetric survey data, so the contours are survey-derived rather than computer-modeled. Below is the species-by-species picture, pulled from the same data the map uses.
Drawn out, this is 65 acres of water rimmed by 1.6 miles of bank, broken up by an island. A shoreline index of 1.4 says round and simple: fish relate to depth changes here, not shoreline features. All of it is shallow-zone water — under ~15 ft across the entire basin, so the food chain has the run of the place. The basin spans about 0.7 mi end to end and 0.2 mi across at its widest. You'll find it in Piscataquis County. For a second option, Kelly Pond lies 3 mi northeast.
The spring pattern is a shallow one: brook trout in 1 to 11 ft. The depth story barely changes: 3 to 11 ft through summer, 2 to 11 ft in winter. Top water on the chart: Deep basin, a deep basin in the 11 ft range, prime in summer. Time it for early morning and the evening. Summer baits: a small spoon fished deep or a trolled lake-clear wobbler + worm gets it done.
| Season | Depth | Best window | Start at | Go-to baits |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Spring | 1 to 11 ft | dawn & dusk | Main-lake point (1 ft) | Small inline spinner (gold), Tiny spoon |
| Summer | 3 to 11 ft | dawn & dusk | Deep basin (11 ft) | Small spoon fished deep, Trolled lake-clear wobbler + worm |
| Fall | 1 to 11 ft | midday & dawn | Main-lake point (1 ft) | Small spoon (orange), Spinner |
| Winter | 2 to 11 ft | dawn | Deep basin (11 ft) | Small jigging spoon, Tungsten jig + plastic |
Structure-wise the chart holds 5 features, led in depth by Deep basin at roughly 11 ft.
