666-acre lake near T2 R10 WELS. The lake tops out around 92 ft. The depth chart comes from published agency bathymetric survey data, so the contours are survey-derived rather than computer-modeled. Here is how the season plays out for each species, straight from the data behind the map.
The outline encloses 667 acres, worked by 6.9 miles of shoreline — 2 islands included. With a 1.9 development index there's bank structure worth casting at, in moderation. Littoral water — the productive band under ~15 ft — makes up 42% of this chart. Figure 2 mi of water from one end to the other, 1 mi at the beam. It sits in Piscataquis County.

Spring brook trout on Hurd Pond hold shallow, usually 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. The chart's best answer is Main-lake point — point, 1 ft, prime for spring. Prime time lands in early morning and the evening. The summer box starts with a small spoon fished deep or a trolled lake-clear wobbler + worm.
