Rating depth structure for brook trout.
Shared by DepthScout anglers. Exact spots stay private, always.
16-acre lake near Avon. The lake tops out around 27 ft. The depth chart comes from published agency bathymetric survey data, so the contours are survey-derived rather than computer-modeled. What follows comes from the same scoring engine that paints the spots above.
On the chart, Day Mountain Pond draws 16 acres inside 0.7 miles of shoreline. Its 1.2 shoreline index means few bank features; the contours below do the pattern work. About 78% of the surface sits shallower than 15 ft — that's the weed-and-bait zone. You'll find it in Franklin County. For a second option, Clearwater Lake lies 9 mi east.
Start shallow in spring: brook trout sit in 2 to 15 ft that time of year. Summer pushes them deeper, 8 to 27 ft, and winter fish settle into 3 to 20 ft. The spot to know is Deep basin, a deep basin in about 25 ft of water that rates prime for brook trout in summer. Warm-month bites cluster around early morning and the evening. Throw a small spoon fished deep or a trolled lake-clear wobbler + worm until the fish tell you otherwise.
| Season | Depth | Best window | Start at | Go-to baits |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Spring | 2 to 15 ft | dawn & dusk | Shallow bay flat (3 ft) | Small inline spinner (gold), Tiny spoon |
| Summer | 8 to 27 ft | dawn & dusk | Deep basin (25 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 (8 ft) | Small jigging spoon, Tungsten jig + plastic |
