14-acre pond near RYE. 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. Below is the species-by-species picture, pulled from the same data the map uses.
On the chart, EEL POND draws 14 acres inside 0.6 miles of shoreline. Its 1.2 shoreline index means few bank features; the contours below do the pattern work. Every acre of it sits shallower than ~15 ft: one big littoral zone, cover and forage throughout. End to end it runs roughly 0.3 mi. You'll find it in Rockingham County. The nearest mapped water is Little Harbor, 5 mi to the northeast.
Spring puts white perch in skinny water — 1 to 3 ft is the zone. Summer fish stay in 1 to 3 ft, and winter fish hold in 1 to 3 ft. Summer white perch concentrate at Deep basin, a good-rated deep basin around 3 ft. Warm-month bites cluster around early morning. A small spinner rig drifted or a 1/8 oz jigging spoon covers the summer program.
Depth note: when a documented seasonal range extends below this chart, the table shows the deepest mapped working water, not a verified holding depth.
| Season | Depth | Best window | Start at | Go-to baits |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Spring | 1 to 3 ft chart-limited; documented 4 to 15 ft | dusk | Shallow bay flat (2 ft) | Small jig + curly tail, Inline spinner (silver) |
| Summer | 1 to 3 ft chart-limited; documented 15 to 40 ft | dawn | Deep basin (3 ft) | Small spinner rig drifted, 1/8 oz jigging spoon |
| Fall | 1 to 3 ft chart-limited; documented 15 to 45 ft | midday | Deep basin (3 ft) | Jigging spoon (small), Blade bait |
| Winter | 1 to 3 ft chart-limited; documented 20 to 50 ft | dusk | Deep basin (3 ft) | Small rattle spoon, Tungsten + spikes |
