Rating depth structure for brook trout.

23-acre lake near Bowdoin College Grant West Twp. The lake tops out around 11 ft. The depth chart comes from published agency bathymetric survey data, so the contours are survey-derived rather than computer-modeled. Every species below gets its seasonal read from the same numbers driving the chart.
The outline encloses 23 acres, worked by 1.2 miles of shoreline. With a 1.8 development index there's bank structure worth casting at, in moderation. There is no deep basin to speak of — the entire surface is under ~15 ft, prime weed water end to end. End to end it runs roughly 0.4 mi, about 0.2 mi across. It sits in Piscataquis County. Horseshoe Pond sits 1 mi south — the closest neighbouring chart.
Early season brook trout use the shallows, holding in 1 to 11 ft. Even in summer they hold at 3 to 11 ft; winter keeps them in 2 to 11 ft. Put Deep basin first on the milk run — a deep basin near 10 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.
| Season | Depth | Best window | Start at | Go-to baits |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Spring | 1 to 11 ft | dawn & dusk | Main-lake point (2 ft) | Small inline spinner (gold), Tiny spoon |
| Summer | 3 to 11 ft | dawn & dusk | Deep basin (10 ft) | Small spoon fished deep, Trolled lake-clear wobbler + worm |
| Fall | 1 to 11 ft | midday & dawn | Main-lake point (2 ft) | Small spoon (orange), Spinner |
| Winter | 2 to 11 ft | dawn | Deep basin (10 ft) | Small jigging spoon, Tungsten jig + plastic |
