28-acre pond near STODDARD. 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. Here's the year, species by species, as the scoring engine sees it.
Traced from the shoreline, COLD SPRING POND runs 28 acres with 0.8 miles of edge. Its 1.1 shoreline index means few bank features; the contours below do the pattern work. The basin spans about 0.3 mi end to end and 0.2 mi across at its widest. The water lies in Cheshire County. For a second option, Center Pond lies 3 mi south.
Start shallow in spring: brook trout sit in 2 to 15 ft that time of year. They don't go far with the seasons — 5 to 15 ft covers summer, 2 to 15 ft covers winter. Top water on the chart: Deep basin, a deep basin in the 15 ft range, prime in summer. Fish it in early morning and the evening and you'll meet the bite. Throw a small spoon fished deep or a trolled lake-clear wobbler + worm until the fish tell you otherwise.
Depth note: when a documented seasonal range extends below this chart, the table shows the deepest mapped working water, not a verified holding depth.
