56-acre lake near Soldiertown Twp T2 R3 NBKP. The lake tops out around 16 ft. The depth chart comes from published agency bathymetric survey data, so the contours are survey-derived rather than computer-modeled. The season-by-season read for each species follows, from the map's own numbers.
Center Pond maps at 56 acres behind 1.5 miles of shoreline. Its 1.4 shoreline index means few bank features; the contours below do the pattern work. The shallow band under 15 ft claims about 96% of the surface — that's where the groceries are. Call it 0.5 mi long by 0.4 mi wide at the broadest reach. It sits in Somerset County. Its nearest charted neighbour, Canada Falls Lake, is 4 mi to the northwest.
When the water first warms, brook trout slide up into 2 to 15 ft. By summer they slide out to 5 to 16 ft, and by winter most fish are in 2 to 16 ft. If you only fish one area, make it Deep basin: a deep basin around 16 ft that scores prime in summer. In summer the feeding windows fall in early morning and the evening. Keep a small spoon fished deep or a trolled lake-clear wobbler + worm rigged through the warm months.
| Season | Depth | Best window | Start at | Go-to baits |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Spring | 2 to 15 ft | dawn & dusk | Main-lake point (3 ft) | Small inline spinner (gold), Tiny spoon |
| Summer | 5 to 16 ft | dawn & dusk | Deep basin (16 ft) | Small spoon fished deep, Trolled lake-clear wobbler + worm |
| Fall | 2 to 15 ft | midday & dawn | Main-lake point (3 ft) | Small spoon (orange), Spinner |
| Winter | 2 to 16 ft | dawn | Deep basin (16 ft) | Small jigging spoon, Tungsten jig + plastic |
