Rating depth structure for brook trout.

50-acre lake near Davis Twp. The lake tops out around 28 ft. The depth chart comes from published agency bathymetric survey data, so the contours are survey-derived rather than computer-modeled. Species by species, here's what the data says the year looks like.
Drawn out, this is 49 acres of water rimmed by 1.2 miles of bank. A shoreline index of 1.2 says round and simple: fish relate to depth changes here, not shoreline features. About 55% of the surface sits shallower than 15 ft — that's the weed-and-bait zone. Call it 0.5 mi long by 0.3 mi wide at the broadest reach. The water lies in Franklin County. The nearest mapped water is John's Pond, 3 mi to the north.
The spring pattern is a shallow one: brook trout in 2 to 15 ft. Midsummer fish sit out in 8 to 28 ft before dropping to 3 to 20 ft for winter. The spot to know is Deep basin, a deep basin in about 27 ft of water that rates prime for brook trout in summer. Plan around early morning and the evening in the warm months. 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 | Main-lake point (9 ft) | Small inline spinner (gold), Tiny spoon |
| Summer | 8 to 28 ft | dawn & dusk | Deep basin (27 ft) | Small spoon fished deep, Trolled lake-clear wobbler + worm |
| Fall | 2 to 15 ft | midday & dawn | Main-lake point (9 ft) | Small spoon (orange), Spinner |
| Winter | 3 to 20 ft | dawn | Break off the point (20 ft) | Small jigging spoon, Tungsten jig + plastic |
