Rating depth structure for brook trout.

8-acre lake near Pierce Pond Twp. The lake tops out around 25 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.
The drawn water covers 7 acres wrapped in 0.4 miles of bank. Its 1.1 shoreline index means few bank features; the contours below do the pattern work. The shallow band under 15 ft claims about 66% of the surface — that's where the groceries are. Somerset County claims this one. Its nearest charted neighbour, Helen Pond, is 0 mi to the west.
Come spring, look for brook trout tight to the bank in 2 to 15 ft. They move out to 8 to 25 ft in summer and finish the year down in 3 to 20 ft. If you only fish one area, make it Deep basin: a deep basin around 25 ft that scores prime in summer. Best bite is early morning and the evening. A small spoon fished deep or a trolled lake-clear wobbler + worm is the honest summer answer here.
| Season | Depth | Best window | Start at | Go-to baits |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Spring | 2 to 15 ft | dawn & dusk | Main-lake point (11 ft) | Small inline spinner (gold), Tiny spoon |
| Summer | 8 to 25 ft | dawn & dusk | Deep basin (25 ft) | Small spoon fished deep, Trolled lake-clear wobbler + worm |
| Fall | 2 to 15 ft | midday & dawn | Main-lake point (11 ft) | Small spoon (orange), Spinner |
| Winter | 3 to 20 ft | dawn | Break off the point (24 ft) | Small jigging spoon, Tungsten jig + plastic |
3 pieces of structure are mapped here — Deep basin, around 25 ft, is the deepest of them.
