21-acre pond near MADISON. The lake tops out around 25 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's the year, species by species, as the scoring engine sees it.
DAVIS POND maps at 21 acres behind 0.7 miles of shoreline. At index 1.1 the outline is almost a bowl — read the depth changes, not the shoreline. The shallow band under 15 ft claims about 65% of the surface — that's where the groceries are. Call it 0.3 mi long by 0.2 mi wide at the broadest reach. Carroll County claims this one. Its nearest charted neighbour, Pea Porridge Pond, Middle, is 2 mi to the northeast.
Spring rainbow trout on DAVIS POND hold shallow, usually 5 to 20 ft. They move out to 7 to 25 ft in summer and finish the year down in 5 to 25 ft. Put Deep basin first on the milk run — a deep basin near 25 ft that grades prime for winter. The feeding windows run early morning and the evening. The summer box starts with a dodger + spoon (deep troll) or a flutter spoon.
| Season | Depth | Best window | Start at | Go-to baits |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Spring | 5 to 20 ft | dawn & dusk | Back-bay flat (6 ft) | Inline spinner (silver), Small spoon |
| Summer | 7 to 25 ft | dawn & dusk | Deep basin (25 ft) | Dodger + spoon (deep troll), Flutter spoon |
| Fall | 7 to 25 ft | dawn & dusk | Deep basin (25 ft) | Casting spoon, Jerkbait over shoals |

In spring, brown trout run shallow here, mostly 3 to 25 ft. Summer keeps them at 8 to 25 ft, and they winter in 4 to 25 ft. Deep basin is the standout, a deep basin at roughly 25 ft, rated prime for summer brown trout. Time it for after dark and early morning. You won't need more than a spoon at the thermocline or a deep stickbait (night) most summer days.
| Season | Depth | Best window | Start at | Go-to baits |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Spring | 3 to 25 ft | dawn & dusk | open water | Stickbait off planer boards (shallow), Small spoon along mud lines |
| Summer | 8 to 25 ft | night & dawn | Deep basin (25 ft) | Spoon at the thermocline, Deep stickbait (night) |
| Fall | 4 to 25 ft | dusk & dawn | open water | Jerkbait over gravel, Casting spoon |
| Winter | 4 to 25 ft | dawn | Deep basin (25 ft) | Jigging spoon, Small stickbait (slow) |
