Rating depth structure for brook trout.

25-acre lake near T3 R10 WELS. The lake tops out around 5 ft. The depth chart comes from published agency bathymetric survey data, so the contours are survey-derived rather than computer-modeled. The season-by-season read for each species follows, from the map's own numbers.
The outline encloses 26 acres, worked by 1.6 miles of shoreline. With a shoreline index of 2.3, this water is all arms and coves — edge habitat well beyond its acreage. Nothing on this chart breaks 15 ft, which makes the whole surface littoral: weeds, bait and ambush cover everywhere. Tip to tip the water measures near 0.5 mi with a 0.4-mi widest point. It sits in Piscataquis County. Tracy Pond sits 0 mi northeast — the closest neighbouring chart.
When the water first warms, brook trout slide up into 1 to 5 ft. There's no big seasonal slide here — summer means 2 to 5 ft, winter 1 to 5 ft. If you only fish one area, make it Deep basin: a deep basin around 5 ft that scores prime in summer. In summer the feeding windows fall in early morning and the evening. Keep a small spoon fished deep or a trolled lake-clear wobbler + worm rigged through the warm months.
| Season | Depth | Best window | Start at | Go-to baits |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Spring | 1 to 5 ft | dawn & dusk | Main-lake point (2 ft) | Small inline spinner (gold), Tiny spoon |
| Summer | 2 to 5 ft | dawn & dusk | Deep basin (5 ft) | Small spoon fished deep, Trolled lake-clear wobbler + worm |
| Fall | 1 to 5 ft | midday & dawn | Main-lake point (2 ft) | Small spoon (orange), Spinner |
| Winter | 1 to 5 ft | dawn | Deep basin (5 ft) | Small jigging spoon, Tungsten jig + plastic |
