6-acre lake near T4 R9 WELS. The lake tops out around 20 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.
On the chart, Deep Pond draws 6 acres inside 0.4 miles of shoreline. Nearly circular (index 1.1), so the story is the bottom, not the bank. The shallow band under 15 ft claims about 93% of the surface — that's where the groceries are. The water lies in Piscataquis County. The nearest mapped water is Russell Pond, 1 mi to the southeast.
Spring puts brook trout in skinny water — 2 to 15 ft is the zone. Warm water sends them out to 6 to 20 ft; cold water stacks them in 3 to 20 ft. Deep basin is the standout, a deep basin at roughly 18 ft, rated prime for summer brook trout. Plan around early morning and the evening in the warm months. A small spoon fished deep or a trolled lake-clear wobbler + worm covers the summer program.
| 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 | 6 to 20 ft | dawn & dusk | Deep basin (18 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 | Deep basin (18 ft) | Small jigging spoon, Tungsten jig + plastic |
