35-acre pond near NEW DURHAM. The lake tops out around 5 ft. The depth chart is built from real state fisheries GPS surveys, so the humps, channels and drop-offs you see are measured, not guessed. Here is how the season plays out for each species, straight from the data behind the map.
Traced from the shoreline, CLUB POND runs 35 acres with 1 miles of edge. Its 1.3 shoreline index means few bank features; the contours below do the pattern work. Nothing on this chart breaks 15 ft, which makes the whole surface littoral: weeds, bait and ambush cover everywhere. Call it 0.4 mi long by 0.2 mi wide at the broadest reach. The water lies in Strafford County. Closest neighbour on DepthScout: DOWNING POND, 1 mi west of here.
In spring, brook trout run shallow here, mostly 1 to 5 ft. Summer keeps them at 2 to 5 ft, and they winter in 1 to 5 ft. Summer brook trout concentrate at Deep basin, a prime-rated deep basin around 5 ft. Fish it in early morning and the evening and you'll meet the bite. You won't need more than a small spoon fished deep or a trolled lake-clear wobbler + worm most summer days.
