103-acre lake near T5 R11 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. What follows comes from the same scoring engine that paints the spots above.
Traced from the shoreline, Little Nesowadnehunk L runs 103 acres with 1.7 miles of edge. At index 1.2 the outline is almost a bowl — read the depth changes, not the shoreline. Call it 0.6 mi long by 0.5 mi wide at the broadest reach. You'll find it in Piscataquis County. For a second option, Nesowadnehunk Lake lies 2 mi south.
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. Deep basin is the standout, a deep basin at roughly 15 ft, rated prime for summer brook trout. Time it for early morning and the evening. You won't need more than a small spoon fished deep or a trolled lake-clear wobbler + worm most summer days.
