16-acre lake near Kibby Twp. The lake tops out around 3 ft. The depth chart comes from published agency bathymetric survey data, so the contours are survey-derived rather than computer-modeled. Species by species, here's what the data says the year looks like.
Traced from the shoreline, Douglass Pond runs 16 acres with 1 miles of edge. Index 1.8 on the shoreline: a few honest points and pockets, nothing labyrinthine. There is no deep basin to speak of — the entire surface is under ~15 ft, prime weed water end to end. End to end it runs roughly 0.4 mi. You'll find it in Franklin County. The nearest mapped water is Everett Pond, 6 mi to the southeast.
The spring pattern is a shallow one: brook trout in 1 to 3 ft. The depth story barely changes: 1 to 3 ft through summer, 1 to 3 ft in winter. Top water on the chart: Deep basin, a deep basin in the 3 ft range, prime in summer. Time it for early morning and the evening. Summer baits: a small spoon fished deep or a trolled lake-clear wobbler + worm gets it done.
| Season | Depth | Best window | Start at | Go-to baits |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Spring | 1 to 3 ft | dawn & dusk | Main-lake point (1 ft) | Small inline spinner (gold), Tiny spoon |
| Summer | 1 to 3 ft | dawn & dusk | Deep basin (3 ft) | Small spoon fished deep, Trolled lake-clear wobbler + worm |
| Fall | 1 to 3 ft | midday & dawn | Main-lake point (1 ft) | Small spoon (orange), Spinner |
| Winter | 1 to 3 ft | dawn | Deep basin (3 ft) | Small jigging spoon, Tungsten jig + plastic |
