Rating depth structure for brook trout.

43-acre lake near King & Bartlett Twp. The lake tops out around 24 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 drawn water covers 43 acres wrapped in 1.1 miles of bank. Its 1.2 shoreline index means few bank features; the contours below do the pattern work. All of it is shallow-zone water — under ~15 ft across the entire basin, so the food chain has the run of the place. Figure 0.4 mi of water from one end to the other, 0.3 mi at the beam. Somerset County claims this one. If the bite dies, Everett Pond is 1 mi to the northwest.
Come spring, look for brook trout tight to the bank in 2 to 15 ft. They move out to 7 to 24 ft in summer and finish the year down in 3 to 20 ft. If you only fish one area, make it Deep basin: a deep basin around 19 ft that scores prime in summer. Best bite is 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 (2 ft) | Small inline spinner (gold), Tiny spoon |
| Summer | 7 to 24 ft | dawn & dusk | Deep basin (19 ft) | Small spoon fished deep, Trolled lake-clear wobbler + worm |
| Fall | 2 to 15 ft | midday & dawn | Main-lake point (2 ft) | Small spoon (orange), Spinner |
| Winter | 3 to 20 ft | dawn | Deep basin (19 ft) | Small jigging spoon, Tungsten jig + plastic |
