13-acre lake near Nesourdnahunk Twp. The lake tops out around 4 ft. The depth chart comes from published agency bathymetric survey data, so the contours are survey-derived rather than computer-modeled. Here is how the season plays out for each species, straight from the data behind the map.
On the chart, Dwelley Pond draws 13 acres inside 0.8 miles of shoreline. The shoreline is moderately structured (index 1.6) — enough points and pockets to pattern. Every acre of it sits shallower than ~15 ft: one big littoral zone, cover and forage throughout. You'll find it in Piscataquis County. Closest neighbour on DepthScout: Nesowadnehunk Lake, 3 mi southwest of here.
Spring puts brook trout in skinny water — 1 to 4 ft is the zone. Summer fish stay in 1 to 4 ft, and winter fish hold in 1 to 4 ft. Summer brook trout concentrate at Deep basin, a prime-rated deep basin around 4 ft. Warm-month bites cluster around early morning and the evening. A small spoon fished deep or a trolled lake-clear wobbler + worm covers the summer program.
