319-acre lake near Clifton. The lake tops out around 28 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.
The outline encloses 319 acres, worked by 4.7 miles of shoreline, broken up by 5 islands. With a 1.9 development index there's bank structure worth casting at, in moderation. Littoral water — the productive band under ~15 ft — makes up 27% of this chart. The basin spans about 1.5 mi end to end and 0.6 mi across at its widest. Hancock County claims this one. Hatcase Pond sits 2 mi west — the closest neighbouring chart.
Early season brook trout use the shallows, holding in 2 to 15 ft. Summer is an 8 to 28 ft game here, winter a 3 to 20 ft one. The chart's best answer is Deep basin — deep basin, 28 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.
