High Pond maps at 11 acres behind 0.6 miles of shoreline. At index 1.3 the outline is almost a bowl — read the depth changes, not the shoreline. Tip to tip the water measures near 0.3 mi. Piscataquis County claims this one. Long Pond sits 0 mi southeast — the closest neighbouring chart.
When the water first warms, brook trout slide up into 2 to 15 ft. There's no big seasonal slide here — summer means 5 to 15 ft, winter 2 to 15 ft. Start at Deep basin. It's a deep basin holding about 14 ft of water and rates prime come summer. The feeding windows run 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 | Shallow bay flat (3 ft) | Small inline spinner (gold), Tiny spoon |
