13-acre lake near TA R11 WELS. The lake tops out around 4 ft. The depth chart comes from Maine Department of Environmental Protection 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.
Drawn out, this is 13 acres of water rimmed by 0.7 miles of bank. Index 1.5 on the shoreline: a few honest points and pockets, nothing labyrinthine. There is no deep basin to speak of — the entire surface is under ~15 ft, prime weed water end to end. The basin spans about 0.3 mi end to end. You'll find it in Piscataquis County. The nearest mapped water is Big Pleasant Pond, 1 mi to the south.
The spring pattern is a shallow one: brook trout in 1 to 4 ft. The depth story barely changes: 1 to 4 ft through summer, 1 to 4 ft in winter. Top water on the chart: Deep basin, a deep basin in the 4 ft range, prime in summer. Time it for early morning and the evening. Summer baits: a small spoon fished deep or a trolled lake-clear wobbler + worm gets it done.
Depth note: when a documented seasonal range extends below this chart, the table shows the deepest mapped working water, not a verified holding depth.
