16-acre lake near TA R11 WELS. The lake tops out around 16 ft. The depth chart comes from published agency bathymetric survey data, so the contours are survey-derived rather than computer-modeled. The season-by-season read for each species follows, from the map's own numbers.
On the chart, Little Pleasant Pond draws 16 acres inside 0.8 miles of shoreline. A shoreline index of 1.4 says round and simple: fish relate to depth changes here, not shoreline features. Tip to tip the water measures near 0.3 mi with a 0.2-mi widest point. The water lies in Piscataquis County. For a second option, Big Pleasant Pond lies 1 mi north.
Start shallow in spring: brook trout sit in 2 to 15 ft that time of year. Warm water sends them out to 5 to 16 ft; cold water stacks them in 2 to 16 ft. Top water on the chart: Deep basin, a deep basin in the 14 ft range, prime in summer. Fish it in early morning and the evening and you'll meet the bite. Throw a small spoon fished deep or a trolled lake-clear wobbler + worm until the fish tell you otherwise.
