20-acre lake near T3 R10 WELS. The lake tops out around 15 ft. The depth chart comes from published agency bathymetric survey data, so the contours are survey-derived rather than computer-modeled. The rest of this page walks each species through its year, using the map's own scoring.
On the chart, Lily Pad Pond draws 21 acres inside 1.2 miles of shoreline. The shoreline is moderately structured (index 1.9) — enough points and pockets to pattern. Figure 0.3 mi of water from one end to the other, 0.2 mi at the beam. The water lies in Piscataquis County. For a second option, Daicey Pond lies 1 mi east.
In spring, brook trout run shallow here, mostly 2 to 15 ft. Summer keeps them at 5 to 15 ft, and they winter in 2 to 15 ft. Summer brook trout concentrate at Deep basin, a prime-rated deep basin around 14 ft. Fish it in early morning and the evening and you'll meet the bite. You won't need more than a small spoon fished deep or a trolled lake-clear wobbler + worm most summer days.
| Season | Depth | Best window | Start at | Go-to baits |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Spring | 2 to 15 ft | dawn & dusk | Main-lake point (3 ft) | Small inline spinner (gold), Tiny spoon |
| Summer | 5 to 15 ft | dawn & dusk | Deep basin (14 ft) | Small spoon fished deep, Trolled lake-clear wobbler + worm |
| Fall | 2 to 15 ft | midday & dawn | Main-lake point (3 ft) | Small spoon (orange), Spinner |
| Winter | 2 to 15 ft | dawn | Deep basin (14 ft) | Small jigging spoon, Tungsten jig + plastic |
