58-acre lake near Seven Ponds Twp. 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. Here's the year, species by species, as the scoring engine sees it.
Long Pond maps at 58 acres behind 2.7 miles of shoreline, broken up by 4 islands. The 2.6 development index tells the story — a convoluted bank whose fishable edge far outruns the acreage. The basin spans about 0.8 mi end to end and 0.3 mi across at its widest. It sits in Franklin County. Its nearest charted neighbour, Secret Pond, is 0 mi to the south.
Early season brook trout use the shallows, holding in 2 to 15 ft. Even in summer they hold at 5 to 15 ft; winter keeps them in 2 to 15 ft. Put Deep basin first on the milk run — a deep basin near 13 ft that grades prime for summer. In summer the feeding windows fall in early morning and the evening. Tie on a small spoon fished deep or a trolled lake-clear wobbler + worm and you're in the game.
