5,601-acre lake near T16 R6 WELS. The lake tops out around 135 ft. The depth chart comes from published agency bathymetric survey data, so the contours are survey-derived rather than computer-modeled. Here's the year, species by species, as the scoring engine sees it.
On the chart, Eagle Lake draws 5,608 acres inside 34.4 miles of shoreline. An index of 3.3 puts the bank firmly in maze territory: point after pocket after cove, every one a casting target. The shallow band under 15 ft claims about 18% of the surface — that's where the groceries are. Call it 10.8 mi long by 4.7 mi wide at the broadest reach. You'll find it in Aroostook County. Closest neighbour on DepthScout: Blake Lake, 3 mi northwest of here.
In spring, brook trout run shallow here, mostly 2 to 15 ft. Summer pushes them deeper, 10 to 30 ft, and winter fish settle into 3 to 20 ft. Middle Brook inflow is the standout, an inflow / creek mouth at roughly 6 ft, rated prime for spring 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 | 2 to 15 ft | dawn & dusk | Middle Brook inflow (6 ft) | Small inline spinner (gold), Tiny spoon |
| Summer | 10 to 30 ft | dawn & dusk | Middle Brook inflow (6 ft) | Small spoon fished deep, Trolled lake-clear wobbler + worm |
| Fall | 2 to 15 ft | midday & dawn | Middle Brook inflow (6 ft) | Small spoon (orange), Spinner |
| Winter | 3 to 20 ft | dawn | Middle Brook inflow (6 ft) | Small jigging spoon, Tungsten jig + plastic |
Spring puts burbot in skinny water — 25 to 70 ft is the zone. Warm water sends them out to 50 to 120 ft; cold water stacks them in 15 to 60 ft. Deep basin is the standout, a deep basin at roughly 124 ft, rated prime for summer burbot. Plan around after dark and midday in the warm months. A heavy jig + cut bait covers the summer program.
| Season | Depth | Best window | Start at | Go-to baits |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Spring | 25 to 70 ft | night & dusk | Break off the point (35 ft) | Glow jigging spoon + cut bait, Rattle bait (dark) |
| Summer | 50 to 120 ft | night & midday | Deep basin (124 ft) | Heavy jig + cut bait |
| Fall | 30 to 80 ft | night & dusk | Break off the point (35 ft) | Glow spoon + minnow head, Blade bait (slow) |
| Winter | 15 to 60 ft | night & dusk | Rock reef (10 ft) | Glow tungsten + cut bait, Rattle spoon + minnow head |
Spring puts lake trout in skinny water — 10 to 40 ft is the zone. Warm water sends them out to 50 to 120 ft; cold water stacks them in 20 to 80 ft. Rock reef is the standout, a rock pile at roughly 10 ft, rated prime for fall lake trout. Plan around early morning in the warm months. A white tube jig (deep) or a magnum spoon on downrigger covers the summer program.
| Season | Depth | Best window | Start at | Go-to baits |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Spring | 10 to 40 ft | dawn & dusk | Secondary point (20 ft) | Casting spoon over shoals, Jerkbait (shallow) |
| Summer | 50 to 120 ft | dawn | Deep basin (124 ft) | White tube jig (deep), Magnum spoon on downrigger |
| Fall | 10 to 50 ft | dusk & dawn | Rock reef (10 ft) | Heavy casting spoon, Jigging rap over reefs |
| Winter | 20 to 80 ft | dawn | Break off the point (35 ft) | White tube jig, Airplane jig |
Spring puts landlocked salmon in skinny water — 1 to 15 ft is the zone. As the season builds they drop to 25 to 60 ft, wintering in 10 to 40 ft. Spring landlocked salmon concentrate at Middle Brook inflow, a prime-rated inflow / creek mouth around 6 ft. Warm-month bites cluster around early morning and the evening. A dodger + streamer down deep or a thin spoon on lead core covers the summer program.
| Season | Depth | Best window | Start at | Go-to baits |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Spring | 1 to 15 ft | dawn & dusk | Middle Brook inflow (6 ft) | Streamer flies (Grey Ghost) off boards, Thin spoon (Mooselook style) |
| Summer | 25 to 60 ft | dawn & dusk | Break off the point (35 ft) | Dodger + streamer down deep, Thin spoon on lead core |

| Winter | 10 to 40 ft | dawn | Break off the point (35 ft) | Small jigging spoon, Swedish pimple + smelt |
In spring, brown bullhead run shallow here, mostly 2 to 8 ft. Midsummer fish sit out in 3 to 12 ft before dropping to 10 to 25 ft for winter. Spring brown bullhead concentrate at Middle Brook inflow, a prime-rated inflow / creek mouth around 6 ft. Fish it in after dark and the evening and you'll meet the bite.
