78-acre reservoir in Marinette County, Wisconsin. The lake tops out around 7 ft. This chart interpolates between a real shoreline and a known maximum depth. It will point you at likely water, but it is not a navigation product. Here is how the season plays out for each species, straight from the data behind the map.
North Pond maps at 78 acres behind 3.2 miles of shoreline. With a shoreline index of 2.6, this water is all arms and coves — edge habitat well beyond its acreage. Nothing on this chart breaks 15 ft, which makes the whole surface littoral: weeds, bait and ambush cover everywhere. Tip to tip the water measures near 1.1 mi with a 0.4-mi widest point. It sits in Marinette County. Its nearest charted neighbour, Railroad Pond, is 1 mi to the south.
When the water first warms, rainbow trout slide up into 2 to 7 ft. There's no big seasonal slide here — summer means 2 to 7 ft, winter 1 to 7 ft. If you only fish one area, make it Main-lake point: a point around 7 ft that scores prime in spring. In summer the feeding windows fall in early morning and the evening. Keep a dodger + spoon (deep troll) or a flutter spoon rigged through the warm months.
| Season | Depth | Best window | Start at | Go-to baits |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Spring | 2 to 7 ft | dawn & dusk | Main-lake point (7 ft) | Inline spinner (silver), Small spoon |
| Summer | 2 to 7 ft | dawn & dusk | Main-lake point (7 ft) | Dodger + spoon (deep troll), Flutter spoon |
| Fall | 2 to 7 ft | dawn & dusk | Main-lake point (7 ft) | Casting spoon, Jerkbait over shoals |
| Winter | 1 to 7 ft | dawn | Deep basin (6 ft) | Jigging spoon, Tube jig (white) |
Structure-wise the chart holds 5 features, led in depth by Main-lake point at roughly 7 ft.

Main-lake point is the top-rated area: a point in about 7 ft of water that rates prime for rainbow trout in spring. The map above holds the full rated-spot list for every species and season.
For rainbow trout, the summer bite is best in early morning and the evening. Each species page section below lists the seasonal windows, and the map shows a live NOW badge when you're inside one.
