18-acre lake near T10 R10 WELS. The lake tops out around 4 ft. The depth chart comes from published agency bathymetric survey data, so the contours are survey-derived rather than computer-modeled. Here is how the season plays out for each species, straight from the data behind the map.
Mink Marsh Pond maps at 18 acres behind 1.5 miles of shoreline. The 2.5 development index tells the story — a convoluted bank whose fishable edge far outruns the acreage. Every acre of it sits shallower than ~15 ft: one big littoral zone, cover and forage throughout. Figure 0.6 mi of water from one end to the other, 0.2 mi at the beam. It sits in Piscataquis County. If the bite dies, McPherson Pond is 1 mi to the southeast.
Spring brook trout on Mink Marsh Pond hold shallow, usually 1 to 4 ft. Depth-wise the year is flat: 1 to 4 ft in summer, 1 to 4 ft once it turns cold. The chart's best answer is Deep basin — deep basin, 3 ft, prime for summer. Prime time lands in early morning and the evening. The summer box starts with a small spoon fished deep or a trolled lake-clear wobbler + worm.
| Season | Depth | Best window | Start at | Go-to baits |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Spring | 1 to 4 ft | dawn & dusk | Main-lake point (2 ft) | Small inline spinner (gold), Tiny spoon |
| Summer | 1 to 4 ft | dawn & dusk | Deep basin (3 ft) | Small spoon fished deep, Trolled lake-clear wobbler + worm |
| Fall | 1 to 4 ft | midday & dawn | Main-lake point (2 ft) | Small spoon (orange), Spinner |
| Winter | 1 to 4 ft | dawn | Deep basin (3 ft) | Small jigging spoon, Tungsten jig + plastic |
5 pieces of structure are mapped here — Back-bay flat, around 3 ft, is the deepest of them.
