10-acre lake near T7 R11 WELS. The lake tops out around 12 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.
The outline encloses 10 acres, worked by 0.5 miles of shoreline. A shoreline index of 1.1 says round and simple: fish relate to depth changes here, not shoreline features. Nothing on this chart breaks 15 ft, which makes the whole surface littoral: weeds, bait and ambush cover everywhere. Piscataquis County claims this one. Its nearest charted neighbour, Carpenter Pond, is 0 mi to the northeast.
Come spring, look for brook trout tight to the bank in 2 to 12 ft. Through summer count on 4 to 12 ft; the winter hold is 2 to 12 ft. If you only fish one area, make it Deep basin: a deep basin around 9 ft that scores prime in summer. Best bite is early morning and the evening. A small spoon fished deep or a trolled lake-clear wobbler + worm is the honest summer answer here.
| Season | Depth | Best window | Start at | Go-to baits |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Spring | 2 to 12 ft | dawn & dusk | Shallow bay flat (2 ft) | Small inline spinner (gold), Tiny spoon |
| Summer | 4 to 12 ft | dawn & dusk | Deep basin (9 ft) | Small spoon fished deep, Trolled lake-clear wobbler + worm |
| Fall | 2 to 12 ft | midday & dawn | open water | Small spoon (orange), Spinner |
| Winter | 2 to 12 ft | dawn | Deep basin (9 ft) | Small jigging spoon, Tungsten jig + plastic |
Count 3 structure marks on this chart. The deepest, Deep basin, sits near 9 ft.
