Lizard Pond maps at 66 acres behind 2.3 miles of shoreline, with 2 islands in the mix. With a 2 development index there's bank structure worth casting at, in moderation. All of it is shallow-zone water — under ~15 ft across the entire basin, so the food chain has the run of the place. Figure 0.7 mi of water from one end to the other, 0.3 mi at the beam.

Early season rainbow trout use the shallows, holding in 3 to 13 ft. Even in summer they hold at 3 to 13 ft; winter keeps them in 3 to 13 ft. Put Break off the point first on the milk run — a drop-off near 6 ft that grades prime for winter. In summer the feeding windows fall in early morning and the evening. Tie on a dodger + spoon (deep troll) or a flutter spoon and you're in the game.
