Rating depth structure for brook trout.
Recent public catches load as you reach this section.
5-acre lake near T9 R9 WELS. The lake tops out around 4 ft. The depth chart comes from Maine Department of Environmental Protection 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 5 acres of water rimmed by 0.4 miles of bank. A shoreline index of 1.2 says round and simple: fish relate to depth changes here, not shoreline features. Every acre of it sits shallower than ~15 ft: one big littoral zone, cover and forage throughout. The water lies in Piscataquis County. The nearest mapped water is Chase Lake, 5 mi to the west.
The spring pattern is a shallow one: brook trout in 1 to 4 ft. The depth story barely changes: 1 to 4 ft through summer, 1 to 4 ft in winter. The spot to know is Deep basin, a deep basin in about 4 ft of water that rates prime for brook trout in summer. Plan around early morning and the evening in the warm months. Summer baits: a small spoon fished deep or a trolled lake-clear wobbler + worm gets it done.
Depth note: when a documented seasonal range extends below this chart, the table shows the deepest mapped working water, not a verified holding depth.
| Season | Depth | Best window | Start at | Go-to baits |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Spring | 1 to 4 ft chart-limited; documented 2 to 15 ft | dawn & dusk | Main-lake point (2 ft) | Small inline spinner (gold), Tiny spoon |
| Summer | 1 to 4 ft chart-limited; documented 10 to 30 ft | dawn & dusk | Deep basin (4 ft) | Small spoon fished deep, Trolled lake-clear wobbler + worm |
| Fall | 1 to 4 ft chart-limited; documented 2 to 15 ft | midday & dawn | Main-lake point (2 ft) | Small spoon (orange), Spinner |
| Winter | 1 to 4 ft chart-limited; documented 3 to 20 ft | dawn | Deep basin (4 ft) | Small jigging spoon, Tungsten jig + plastic |
Spring brown trout on Brown Brook Pond hold shallow, usually 1 to 4 ft. Depth-wise the year is flat: 1 to 4 ft in summer, 1 to 4 ft once it turns cold. Put Break off the point first on the milk run — a drop-off near 4 ft that grades good for summer. The feeding windows run after dark and early morning. The summer box starts with a spoon at the thermocline or a deep stickbait (night).
Depth note: when a documented seasonal range extends below this chart, the table shows the deepest mapped working water, not a verified holding depth.
| Season | Depth | Best window | Start at | Go-to baits |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Spring | 1 to 4 ft chart-limited; documented 3 to 25 ft | dawn & dusk | Main-lake point (2 ft) | Stickbait off planer boards (shallow), Small spoon along mud lines |
| Summer | 1 to 4 ft chart-limited; documented 25 to 60 ft | night & dawn | Break off the point (4 ft) | Spoon at the thermocline, Deep stickbait (night) |
| Fall | 1 to 4 ft chart-limited; documented 5 to 30 ft | dusk & dawn | Main-lake point (2 ft) | Jerkbait over gravel, Casting spoon |
| Winter | 1 to 4 ft chart-limited; documented 5 to 35 ft | dawn | Break off the point (4 ft) | Jigging spoon, Small stickbait (slow) |
Brown Brook Pond carries 3 mapped structure features, topping out (or rather bottoming out) at Deep basin, about 4 ft down.
| Date | Species | Count | Size |
|---|---|---|---|
| May 6 | Brown Trout | 200 | ~9" |
