93-acre lake in Windham County, Vermont. The lake tops out around 22 ft. Bathymetry on this water is estimated from its real outline and maximum depth. Use it to shortlist water, then verify with your electronics — and never navigate by it. What the data behind the map says about each species, season by season:
The drawn water covers 102 acres wrapped in 3.8 miles of bank, broken up by 6 islands. The 2.7 development index tells the story — a convoluted bank whose fishable edge far outruns the acreage. Littoral water — the productive band under ~15 ft — makes up 82% of this chart, as modeled. End to end it runs roughly 0.8 mi, about 0.4 mi across. Windham County claims this one. If the bite dies, Gale Meadows Pond is 7 mi to the southwest.
Early season bluegill use the shallows, holding in 1 to 6 ft. Summer is a 4 to 15 ft game here, winter a 7 to 22 ft one.

Tie on a small sponge spider (fly) or a micro tube jig and you're in the game.
