Rating depth structure for brook trout.

121-acre lake near T6 R10 WELS. 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. Every species below gets its seasonal read from the same numbers driving the chart.
The drawn water covers 121 acres wrapped in 2.3 miles of bank, with 2 islands in the mix. With a 1.5 development index there's bank structure worth casting at, in moderation. Every acre of it sits shallower than ~15 ft: one big littoral zone, cover and forage throughout. Call it 0.9 mi long by 0.3 mi wide at the broadest reach. It sits in Piscataquis County. Its nearest charted neighbour, Webster Lake, is 4 mi to the west.
Early season brook trout use the shallows, holding in 1 to 10 ft. Even in summer they hold at 3 to 10 ft; winter keeps them in 2 to 10 ft. Put Deep basin first on the milk run — a deep basin near 10 ft that grades prime for summer. In summer the feeding windows fall in early morning and the evening. Tie on a small spoon fished deep or a trolled lake-clear wobbler + worm and you're in the game.
| Season | Depth | Best window | Start at | Go-to baits |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Spring | 1 to 10 ft | dawn & dusk | Main-lake point (3 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 (3 ft) | Small spoon (orange), Spinner |
| Winter | 2 to 10 ft | dawn | Deep basin (10 ft) | Small jigging spoon, Tungsten jig + plastic |
