Brook Trout fishing at Carpenter Pond
Spring brook trout on Carpenter Pond hold shallow, usually 2 to 15 ft. Summer pushes them deeper, 10 to 30 ft, and winter fish settle into 3 to 20 ft. If you only fish one area, make it Main-lake point: a point around 2 ft that scores prime in spring. Plan around early morning and the evening in the warm months. A small spoon fished deep or a trolled lake-clear wobbler + worm covers the summer program.
