Rating depth structure for brook trout.

163-acre lake near Dedham. The lake tops out around 77 ft. The depth chart comes from published agency bathymetric survey data, so the contours are survey-derived rather than computer-modeled. What follows comes from the same scoring engine that paints the spots above.
The outline encloses 162 acres, worked by 2.9 miles of shoreline, broken up by an island. A middling shoreline index (1.6) gives it some bays to work without being a maze. 15% of the surface is littoral (under ~15 ft) — cover, weeds and forage water. End to end it runs roughly 1.1 mi, about 0.5 mi across. It sits in Hancock County. Burnt Pond sits 2 mi east — the closest neighbouring chart.
When the water first warms, brook trout slide up into 2 to 15 ft. By summer they slide out to 10 to 30 ft, and by winter most fish are in 3 to 20 ft. If you only fish one area, make it Secondary point: a point around 17 ft that scores good in spring. 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 | 2 to 15 ft | dawn & dusk | Secondary point (17 ft) | Small inline spinner (gold), Tiny spoon |
| Summer | 10 to 30 ft | dawn & dusk | open water | Small spoon fished deep, Trolled lake-clear wobbler + worm |
| Fall | 2 to 15 ft | midday & dawn | Secondary point (17 ft) | Small spoon (orange), Spinner |
| Winter | 3 to 20 ft | dawn | Back-bay flat (2 ft) | Small jigging spoon, Tungsten jig + plastic |
Structure-wise the chart holds 6 features, led in depth by Deep basin at roughly 75 ft.
