Rating depth structure for brook trout.

62-acre lake near Big Twenty Twp. The lake tops out around 35 ft. The depth chart comes from published agency bathymetric survey data, so the contours are survey-derived rather than computer-modeled. The season-by-season read for each species follows, from the map's own numbers.
Traced from the shoreline, Jones Pond runs 61 acres with 1.4 miles of edge. A shoreline index of 1.2 says round and simple: fish relate to depth changes here, not shoreline features. About 67% of the surface sits shallower than 15 ft — that's the weed-and-bait zone. End to end it runs roughly 0.6 mi, about 0.3 mi across. You'll find it in Aroostook County. For a second option, Le Beau Lac lies 5 mi southeast.
The spring pattern is a shallow one: brook trout in 2 to 15 ft. As the season builds they drop to 10 to 30 ft, wintering in 3 to 20 ft. Top water on the chart: Shoreline break, a drop-off in the 10 ft range, prime in summer. Time it for early morning and the evening. Summer baits: a small spoon fished deep or a trolled lake-clear wobbler + worm gets it done.
| Season | Depth | Best window | Start at | Go-to baits |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Spring | 2 to 15 ft | dawn & dusk | Shallow bay flat (13 ft) | Small inline spinner (gold), Tiny spoon |
| Summer | 10 to 30 ft | dawn & dusk | Shoreline break (10 ft) | Small spoon fished deep, Trolled lake-clear wobbler + worm |
| Fall | 2 to 15 ft | midday & dawn | open water | Small spoon (orange), Spinner |
| Winter | 3 to 20 ft | dawn | Shoreline break (10 ft) | Small jigging spoon, Tungsten jig + plastic |
