65-acre lake near Chase Stream Twp. The lake tops out around 43 ft. The depth chart comes from published agency bathymetric survey data, so the contours are survey-derived rather than computer-modeled. Below is the species-by-species picture, pulled from the same data the map uses.
Dead Stream Pond maps at 65 acres behind 2.3 miles of shoreline, with a single island in the mix. With a 2 development index there's bank structure worth casting at, in moderation. Littoral water — the productive band under ~15 ft — makes up 74% of this chart. The basin spans about 0.9 mi end to end and 0.2 mi across at its widest. Somerset County claims this one. Its nearest charted neighbour, Horseshoe Pond, is 1 mi to the northwest.
Spring brook trout on Dead Stream Pond hold shallow, usually 2 to 15 ft. They move out to 10 to 30 ft in summer and finish the year down in 3 to 20 ft. Put Deep basin first on the milk run — a deep basin near 30 ft that grades prime for summer. The feeding windows run early morning and the evening. The summer box starts with a small spoon fished deep or a trolled lake-clear wobbler + worm.
