20-acre lake near Prentiss Twp T4 R4 NBKP. The lake tops out around 10 ft. The depth chart comes from published agency bathymetric survey data, so the contours are survey-derived rather than computer-modeled. Every species below gets its seasonal read from the same numbers driving the chart.
On the chart, Dubois Pond draws 20 acres inside 0.9 miles of shoreline. Nearly circular (index 1.4), so the story is the bottom, not the bank. Nothing on this chart breaks 15 ft, which makes the whole surface littoral: weeds, bait and ambush cover everywhere. Figure 0.3 mi of water from one end to the other, 0.2 mi at the beam. The water lies in Somerset County. Closest neighbour on DepthScout: Upper Wellman Pond, 1 mi southwest of here.
In spring, brook trout run shallow here, mostly 1 to 10 ft. Summer keeps them at 3 to 10 ft, and they winter in 2 to 10 ft. Summer brook trout concentrate at Deep basin, a prime-rated deep basin around 10 ft. Fish it in early morning and the evening and you'll meet the bite. You won't need more than a small spoon fished deep or a trolled lake-clear wobbler + worm most summer days.
