160-acre lake near T4 R5 NBKP. The lake tops out around 10 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.
Traced from the shoreline, Frost Pond runs 159 acres with 2.4 miles of edge. A shoreline index of 1.4 says round and simple: fish relate to depth changes here, not shoreline features. Every acre of it sits shallower than ~15 ft: one big littoral zone, cover and forage throughout. Figure 1 mi of water from one end to the other, 0.4 mi at the beam. The water lies in Somerset County. For a second option, Clish Pond lies 1 mi northeast.
The spring pattern is a shallow one: brook trout in 1 to 10 ft. The depth story barely changes: 3 to 10 ft through summer, 2 to 10 ft in winter. The spot to know is Deep basin, a deep basin in about 10 ft of water that rates prime for brook trout in summer. Plan around early morning and the evening in the warm months. Summer baits: a small spoon fished deep or a trolled lake-clear wobbler + worm gets it done.
| Season | Depth | Best window | Start at | Go-to baits |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Spring | 1 to 10 ft | dawn & dusk | Main-lake point (2 ft) | Small inline spinner (gold), Tiny spoon |
| Summer | 3 to 10 ft | dawn & dusk | Deep basin (10 ft) | Small spoon fished deep, Trolled lake-clear wobbler + worm |
| Fall | 1 to 10 ft | midday & dawn | Main-lake point (2 ft) | Small spoon (orange), Spinner |
| Winter | 2 to 10 ft | dawn | Deep basin (10 ft) | Small jigging spoon, Tungsten jig + plastic |
Frost Pond carries 6 mapped structure features, topping out (or rather bottoming out) at Deep basin, about 10 ft down.
