46-acre lake near T7 R11 WELS. The lake tops out around 9 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.
Traced from the shoreline, East Branch Pond runs 46 acres with 1.1 miles of edge. Its 1.2 shoreline index means few bank features; the contours below do the pattern work. The whole water is littoral — nothing here runs deeper than ~15 ft, so it's all weed-and-bait territory. The basin spans about 0.4 mi end to end and 0.3 mi across at its widest. You'll find it in Piscataquis County. For a second option, Fourth Lake lies 1 mi north.
In spring, brook trout run shallow here, mostly 1 to 9 ft. Summer keeps them at 3 to 9 ft, and they winter in 1 to 9 ft. Deep basin is the standout, a deep basin at roughly 9 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 9 ft | dawn & dusk | Shallow bay flat (3 ft) | Small inline spinner (gold), Tiny spoon |
