86-acre lake in Windham County, Vermont. The lake tops out around 33 ft. The depth chart comes from Vermont Agency of Natural Resources bathymetric survey data, so the contours are survey-derived rather than computer-modeled. Species by species, here's what the data says the year looks like.
Grout Pond maps at 86 acres behind 2.6 miles of shoreline. With a 2 development index there's bank structure worth casting at, in moderation. The shallow band under 15 ft claims about 63% of the surface — that's where the groceries are. Call it 0.8 mi long by 0.4 mi wide at the broadest reach. Windham County claims this one. If the bite dies, Somerset Reservoir is 3 mi to the south.
Start shallow in spring: yellow perch sit in 3 to 12 ft that time of year. Summer pushes them deeper, 10 to 30 ft, and winter fish settle into 10 to 33 ft. Warm-month bites cluster around early morning. Throw a drop-shot micro plastics or a small spoon tipped with worm until the fish tell you otherwise.
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 | 3 to 12 ft | midday & dawn | open water | Small jig + curly tail, Perch-pattern micro crank |
| Summer | 10 to 30 ft | dawn | open water | Drop-shot micro plastics, Small spoon tipped with worm |
| Fall | 10 to 33 ft chart-limited; documented 12 to 35 ft | midday | open water | Jigging spoon (small), Perch rig / spreader |
| Winter | 10 to 33 ft chart-limited; documented 15 to 35 ft | midday & dawn | open water | Tungsten jig + spikes, Rattle spoon (small) |
Structure-wise the chart holds 5 features, led in depth by Deep basin at roughly 28 ft.
