134-acre lake near Bald Mountain Twp T4 R3. The lake tops out around 20 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.
On the chart, Jones Pond draws 133 acres inside 4.2 miles of shoreline. An index of 2.6 puts the bank firmly in maze territory: point after pocket after cove, every one a casting target. Littoral water — the productive band under ~15 ft — makes up 91% of this chart. The basin spans about 1.6 mi end to end and 0.4 mi across at its widest. The water lies in Somerset County. For a second option, Little Fish Pond lies 3 mi southeast.
Start shallow in spring: brook trout sit in 2 to 15 ft that time of year. Warm water sends them out to 6 to 20 ft; cold water stacks them in 3 to 20 ft. Top water on the chart: Deep basin, a deep basin in the 19 ft range, prime in summer. Fish it in early morning and the evening and you'll meet the bite. Throw a small spoon fished deep or a trolled lake-clear wobbler + worm until the fish tell you otherwise.
| Season | Depth | Best window | Start at | Go-to baits |
