60-acre lake near T2 R10 WELS. The lake tops out around 90 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.
Traced from the shoreline, Little Hurd Pond runs 59 acres with 1.9 miles of edge. The shoreline is moderately structured (index 1.8) — enough points and pockets to pattern. Roughly 33% of the water is 15 ft or less, the band where the food chain lives. End to end it runs roughly 0.8 mi, about 0.3 mi across. You'll find it in Piscataquis County. For a second option, Daisey Pond lies 2 mi south.
Spring puts brook trout in skinny water — 2 to 15 ft is the zone. As the season builds they drop to 10 to 30 ft, wintering in 3 to 20 ft. Spring brook trout concentrate at Secondary point, a prime-rated point around 5 ft. Warm-month bites cluster around early morning and the evening. A small spoon fished deep or a trolled lake-clear wobbler + worm covers the summer program.
| Season | Depth | Best window | Start at | Go-to baits |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Spring | 2 to 15 ft | dawn & dusk | Secondary point (5 ft) | Small inline spinner (gold), Tiny spoon |
| Summer | 10 to 30 ft | dawn & dusk | open water | Small spoon fished deep, Trolled lake-clear wobbler + worm |
| Fall | 2 to 15 ft | midday & dawn | Secondary point (5 ft) | Small spoon (orange), Spinner |
| Winter | 3 to 20 ft | dawn | Shallow bay flat (16 ft) | Small jigging spoon, Tungsten jig + plastic |
