22-acre lake near T10 R13 WELS. The lake tops out around 5 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 22 acres, worked by 0.9 miles of shoreline. Its 1.3 shoreline index means few bank features; the contours below do the pattern work. There is no deep basin to speak of — the entire surface is under ~15 ft, prime weed water end to end. Call it 0.3 mi long by 0.2 mi wide at the broadest reach. It sits in Piscataquis County. If the bite dies, Umsaskis Lake is 6 mi to the north.
Early season brook trout use the shallows, holding in 1 to 5 ft. Even in summer they hold at 2 to 5 ft; winter keeps them in 1 to 5 ft. Put Deep basin first on the milk run — a deep basin near 5 ft that grades prime for summer. In summer the feeding windows fall in early morning and the evening. Tie on a small spoon fished deep or a trolled lake-clear wobbler + worm and you're in the game.
| Season | Depth | Best window | Start at | Go-to baits |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Spring | 1 to 5 ft | dawn & dusk | Main-lake point (2 ft) | Small inline spinner (gold), Tiny spoon |
| Summer | 2 to 5 ft | dawn & dusk | Deep basin (5 ft) | Small spoon fished deep, Trolled lake-clear wobbler + worm |
| Fall | 1 to 5 ft | midday & dawn | Main-lake point (2 ft) | Small spoon (orange), Spinner |
| Winter | 1 to 5 ft | dawn | Deep basin (5 ft) | Small jigging spoon, Tungsten jig + plastic |
