2,730-acre lake near Millinocket. The lake tops out around 52 ft. The depth chart is built from real state fisheries GPS surveys, so the humps, channels and drop-offs you see are measured, not guessed. Here's the year, species by species, as the scoring engine sees it.
The outline encloses 2,163 acres, worked by 16.1 miles of shoreline, broken up by 6 islands. The 2.5 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 74% of this chart. The basin spans about 4.7 mi end to end and 1.6 mi across at its widest. It sits in Piscataquis County. Millimagassett Lake sits 5 mi east — the closest neighbouring chart.
When the water first warms, brook trout slide up into 2 to 15 ft. By summer they slide out to 10 to 30 ft, and by winter most fish are in 3 to 20 ft. If you only fish one area, make it Main-lake point: a point around 2 ft that scores prime in spring. In summer the feeding windows fall in early morning and the evening. Keep a small spoon fished deep or a trolled lake-clear wobbler + worm rigged through the warm months.
| Season | Depth | Best window | Start at | Go-to baits |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Spring | 2 to 15 ft | dawn & dusk | Main-lake point (2 ft) | Small inline spinner (gold), Tiny spoon |
| Summer | 10 to 30 ft | dawn & dusk | Break off the point (4 ft) | Small spoon fished deep, Trolled lake-clear wobbler + worm |
| Fall | 2 to 15 ft | midday & dawn | Main-lake point (2 ft) | Small spoon (orange), Spinner |
| Winter | 3 to 20 ft | dawn | Break off the point (4 ft) | Small jigging spoon, Tungsten jig + plastic |
Come spring, look for landlocked salmon tight to the bank in 1 to 15 ft. Expect a summer slide to 16 to 52 ft, then a winter hold in 10 to 40 ft. Start at Deep basin. It's a deep basin holding about 47 ft of water and rates prime come summer. Prime time lands in early morning and the evening. A dodger + streamer down deep or a thin spoon on lead core is the honest summer answer here.
| Season | Depth | Best window | Start at | Go-to baits |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Spring | 1 to 15 ft | dawn & dusk | Main-lake point (2 ft) | Streamer flies (Grey Ghost) off boards, Thin spoon (Mooselook style) |
| Summer | 16 to 52 ft | dawn & dusk | Deep basin (47 ft) | Dodger + streamer down deep, Thin spoon on lead core |
| Fall | 5 to 30 ft | dawn & dusk | Secondary point (13 ft) | Casting spoon at the mouths, Streamers |
| Winter | 10 to 40 ft | dawn | Secondary point (13 ft) | Small jigging spoon, Swedish pimple + smelt |
