Rating depth structure for brook trout.

89-acre lake near T16 R6 WELS. The lake tops out around 17 ft. The depth chart comes from published agency bathymetric survey data, so the contours are survey-derived rather than computer-modeled. The rest of this page walks each species through its year, using the map's own scoring.
The outline encloses 89 acres, worked by 1.5 miles of shoreline. Its 1.2 shoreline index means few bank features; the contours below do the pattern work. Littoral water — the productive band under ~15 ft — makes up 89% of this chart. The basin spans about 0.6 mi end to end and 0.3 mi across at its widest. It sits in Aroostook County. Second Sly Brook Lake sits 2 mi north — the closest neighbouring chart.
Come spring, look for brook trout tight to the bank in 2 to 15 ft. Expect a summer slide to 5 to 17 ft, then a winter hold in 3 to 17 ft. Start at Deep basin. It's a deep basin holding about 17 ft of water and rates prime come summer. Prime time lands in 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 | 2 to 15 ft | dawn & dusk | Main-lake point (4 ft) | Small inline spinner (gold), Tiny spoon |
| Summer | 5 to 17 ft | dawn & dusk | Deep basin (17 ft) | Small spoon fished deep, Trolled lake-clear wobbler + worm |
| Fall | 2 to 15 ft | midday & dawn | Main-lake point (4 ft) | Small spoon (orange), Spinner |
| Winter | 3 to 17 ft | dawn | Deep basin (17 ft) | Small jigging spoon, Tungsten jig + plastic |
