Rating depth structure for landlocked salmon.

4,594-acre lake near T6 R15 WELS. The lake tops out around 79 ft. The depth chart comes from published agency bathymetric survey data, so the contours are survey-derived rather than computer-modeled. Every species below gets its seasonal read from the same numbers driving the chart.
The outline encloses 4,833 acres, worked by 30.9 miles of shoreline, broken up by 30 islands. An index of 3.2 puts the bank firmly in maze territory: point after pocket after cove, every one a casting target. The shallow band under 15 ft claims about 34% of the surface — that's where the groceries are. Call it 6.7 mi long by 2.6 mi wide at the broadest reach. Piscataquis County claims this one. Poland Pond sits 4 mi north — the closest neighbouring chart.
Spring landlocked salmon on Caucomgomoc Lake hold shallow, usually 1 to 15 ft. They move out to 25 to 60 ft in summer and finish the year down in 10 to 40 ft. Put Little Wadleigh Stream inflow first on the milk run — an inflow / creek mouth near 7 ft that grades prime for spring. The feeding windows run early morning and the evening. The summer box starts with a dodger + streamer down deep or a thin spoon on lead core.
| Season | Depth | Best window | Start at | Go-to baits |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Spring | 1 to 15 ft | dawn & dusk | Little Wadleigh Stream inflow (7 ft) | Streamer flies (Grey Ghost) off boards, Thin spoon (Mooselook style) |
| Summer | 25 to 60 ft | dawn & dusk | Break off the point (23 ft) | Dodger + streamer down deep, Thin spoon on lead core |
| Fall | 5 to 30 ft | dawn & dusk | Little Wadleigh Stream inflow (7 ft) | Casting spoon at the mouths, Streamers |
| Winter | 10 to 40 ft | dawn | Break off the point (23 ft) | Small jigging spoon, Swedish pimple + smelt |
Early season white perch use the shallows, holding in 4 to 15 ft. Summer is a 15 to 40 ft game here, winter a 20 to 50 ft one. The chart's best answer is Little Wadleigh Stream inflow — inflow / creek mouth, 7 ft, prime for spring. Best bite is early morning. Tie on a small spinner rig drifted or a 1/8 oz jigging spoon and you're in the game.
| Season | Depth | Best window | Start at | Go-to baits |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Spring | 4 to 15 ft | dusk | Little Wadleigh Stream inflow (7 ft) | Small jig + curly tail, Inline spinner (silver) |
| Summer | 15 to 40 ft | dawn | Shallow feeding flat (19 ft) | Small spinner rig drifted, 1/8 oz jigging spoon |
| Fall | 15 to 45 ft | midday | Break off the point (23 ft) | Jigging spoon (small), Blade bait |
| Winter | 20 to 50 ft | dusk | Break off the point (23 ft) | Small rattle spoon, Tungsten + spikes |
Start shallow in spring: pumpkinseed sit in 1 to 8 ft that time of year. Warm water sends them out to 2 to 10 ft; cold water stacks them in 6 to 18 ft. Top water on the chart: Shallow bay flat, a weed flat in the 2 ft range, prime in spring. Fish it in the evening and early morning and you'll meet the bite. Throw a micro tube or a sponge spider (fly) until the fish tell you otherwise.
| Season | Depth | Best window | Start at | Go-to baits |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Spring | 1 to 8 ft | midday & dusk | Shallow bay flat (2 ft) | Micro jig under a float, Tiny beetle-spin |
| Summer | 2 to 10 ft | dusk & dawn | Shallow bay flat (2 ft) | Micro tube, Sponge spider (fly) |
| Fall | 4 to 14 ft | dusk & dawn | Back-bay flat (6 ft) | Micro jig + waxworm, Small spoon tipped |
| Winter | 6 to 18 ft | dawn | Back-bay flat (6 ft) | Tungsten ice jig + plastic, Tiny spoon |
Structure-wise the chart holds 14 features, led in depth by Deep basin at roughly 73 ft.
