Rating depth structure for brook trout.

66-acre lake near T4 R5 NBKP. The lake tops out around 6 ft. The depth chart comes from published agency bathymetric survey data, so the contours are survey-derived rather than computer-modeled. What the data behind the map says about each species, season by season:
Drawn out, this is 66 acres of water rimmed by 2 miles of bank — 2 islands included. The shoreline is moderately structured (index 1.8) — enough points and pockets to pattern. There is no deep basin to speak of — the entire surface is under ~15 ft, prime weed water end to end. Tip to tip the water measures near 0.6 mi with a 0.4-mi widest point. You'll find it in Somerset County. Closest neighbour on DepthScout: Little Dingley Pond, 0 mi north of here.
In spring, brook trout run shallow here, mostly 1 to 6 ft. Summer keeps them at 2 to 6 ft, and they winter in 1 to 6 ft. Deep basin is the standout, a deep basin at roughly 6 ft, rated prime for summer brook trout. Time it for early morning and the evening. You won't need more than a small spoon fished deep or a trolled lake-clear wobbler + worm most summer days.
| Season | Depth | Best window | Start at | Go-to baits |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Spring | 1 to 6 ft | dawn & dusk | Main-lake point (1 ft) | Small inline spinner (gold), Tiny spoon |
| Summer | 2 to 6 ft | dawn & dusk | Deep basin (6 ft) | Small spoon fished deep, Trolled lake-clear wobbler + worm |
| Fall | 1 to 6 ft | midday & dawn | Main-lake point (1 ft) | Small spoon (orange), Spinner |
| Winter | 1 to 6 ft | dawn | Deep basin (6 ft) | Small jigging spoon, Tungsten jig + plastic |
6 pieces of structure are mapped here — Deep basin, around 6 ft, is the deepest of them.
