14-acre lake near T8 R15 WELS. The lake tops out around 24 ft. The depth chart comes from published agency bathymetric survey data, so the contours are survey-derived rather than computer-modeled. Species by species, here's what the data says the year looks like.
Drawn out, this is 14 acres of water rimmed by 0.7 miles of bank. Its 1.3 shoreline index means few bank features; the contours below do the pattern work. The shallow band under 15 ft claims about 77% of the surface — that's where the groceries are. The basin spans about 0.3 mi end to end. You'll find it in Piscataquis County. The nearest mapped water is Wadleigh Pond, 3 mi to the west.
Spring puts brook trout in skinny water — 2 to 15 ft is the zone. As the season builds they drop to 7 to 24 ft, wintering in 3 to 20 ft. Summer brook trout concentrate at Deep basin, a prime-rated deep basin around 22 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 | Shallow bay flat (8 ft) | Small inline spinner (gold), Tiny spoon |
| Summer | 7 to 24 ft | dawn & dusk | Deep basin (22 ft) | Small spoon fished deep, Trolled lake-clear wobbler + worm |
| Fall | 2 to 15 ft | midday & dawn | open water | Small spoon (orange), Spinner |
| Winter | 3 to 20 ft | dawn | Shoreline break (3 ft) | Small jigging spoon, Tungsten jig + plastic |
