41-acre pond near GRAFTON. The lake tops out around 10 ft. The depth chart is built from real state fisheries GPS surveys, so the humps, channels and drop-offs you see are measured, not guessed. Every species below gets its seasonal read from the same numbers driving the chart.
KILTON POND maps at 41 acres behind 1.3 miles of shoreline. The basin is a simple one (shoreline index 1.4) — close to a bowl, so the structure on the chart matters more than the bank. Every acre of it sits shallower than ~15 ft: one big littoral zone, cover and forage throughout. The basin spans about 0.6 mi end to end and 0.2 mi across at its widest. It sits in Grafton County. Its nearest charted neighbour, Tewksbury Pond, is 2 mi to the north.
When the water first warms, brown bullhead slide up into 2 to 8 ft. By summer they slide out to 3 to 10 ft, and by winter most fish are in 3 to 10 ft. If you only fish one area, make it Deep basin: a deep basin around 7 ft that scores prime in winter. In summer the feeding windows fall in after dark and the evening.
| Season | Depth | Best window | Start at | Go-to baits |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Spring | 2 to 8 ft | dusk & night | Shallow bay flat (3 ft) | |
| Summer | 3 to 10 ft | night & dusk | Shallow bay flat (3 ft) | |
| Fall | 3 to 10 ft | dusk | Deep basin (7 ft) | |
| Winter | 3 to 10 ft | midday | Deep basin (7 ft) |
The spring pattern is a shallow one: chain pickerel in 2 to 10 ft. The depth story barely changes: 2 to 10 ft through summer, 3 to 10 ft in winter. The spot to know is Shallow bay flat, a weed flat in about 3 ft of water that rates prime for chain pickerel in spring. Plan around early morning and the evening in the warm months. Summer baits: a weedless spoon + trailer or a buzzbait gets it done.

| Spring | 2 to 10 ft | midday & dawn | Shallow bay flat (3 ft) | Inline spinner (silver), Small spoon (red/white) |
