35-acre lake near T3 R10 WELS. The lake tops out around 26 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.
Daicey Pond maps at 35 acres behind 1.1 miles of shoreline. A shoreline index of 1.3 says round and simple: fish relate to depth changes here, not shoreline features. The shallow band under 15 ft claims about 78% of the surface — that's where the groceries are. The basin spans about 0.4 mi end to end and 0.2 mi across at its widest. It sits in Piscataquis County. Its nearest charted neighbour, Elbow Pond, is 1 mi to the northeast.
Early season brook trout use the shallows, holding in 2 to 15 ft. Expect a summer slide to 8 to 26 ft, then a winter hold in 3 to 20 ft. Put Deep basin first on the milk run — a deep basin near 24 ft that grades prime for summer. In summer the feeding windows fall in early morning and the evening. Tie on a small spoon fished deep or a trolled lake-clear wobbler + worm and you're in the game.
| Season | Depth | Best window | Start at | Go-to baits |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Spring | 2 to 15 ft | dawn & dusk | Shallow bay flat (2 ft) | Small inline spinner (gold), Tiny spoon |
| Summer | 8 to 26 ft | dawn & dusk | Deep basin (24 ft) | Small spoon fished deep, Trolled lake-clear wobbler + worm |
| Fall | 2 to 15 ft | midday & dawn | open water | Small spoon (orange), Spinner |
| Winter | 3 to 20 ft | dawn | Shoreline break (2 ft) | Small jigging spoon, Tungsten jig + plastic |
Structure-wise the chart holds 5 features, led in depth by Deep basin at roughly 24 ft.
