14-acre pond near RYE. The lake tops out around 3 ft. The depth chart is built from real state fisheries GPS surveys, so the humps, channels and drop-offs you see are measured, not guessed. 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 prime-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.
