30-acre lake near Kingfield. The lake tops out around 15 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 30 acres of water rimmed by 1 miles of bank. At index 1.3 the outline is almost a bowl — read the depth changes, not the shoreline. Tip to tip the water measures near 0.4 mi with a 0.2-mi widest point. You'll find it in Somerset County. For a second option, Hid Pond lies 1 mi south.
The spring pattern is a shallow one: brook trout in 2 to 15 ft. The depth story barely changes: 5 to 15 ft through summer, 2 to 15 ft in winter. Top water on the chart: Deep basin, a deep basin in the 15 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 | 2 to 15 ft | dawn & dusk | Main-lake point (2 ft) | Small inline spinner (gold), Tiny spoon |
| Summer | 5 to 15 ft | dawn & dusk | Deep basin (15 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 | 2 to 15 ft | dawn | Deep basin (15 ft) | Small jigging spoon, Tungsten jig + plastic |
