96-acre reservoir in Windsor County, Vermont. The lake tops out around 16 ft. Contours on this water are modeled from its actual shoreline and max depth. Good for finding likely water, never for navigation. Here's the year, species by species, as the scoring engine sees it.
The outline encloses 90 acres, worked by 4.4 miles of shoreline, broken up by an island. That shoreline is heavily fingered (development index 3.3) — bays, points and pockets everywhere, which multiplies the fishable edge. Roughly 94% of the water is 15 ft or less as modeled, the band where the food chain lives. Tip to tip the water measures near 1 mi with a 0.4-mi widest point. Windsor County claims this one. If the bite dies, Stoughton Pond is 2 mi to the north.
Early season largemouth bass use the shallows, holding in 2 to 10 ft. Expect a summer slide to 5 to 16 ft, then a winter hold in 5 to 16 ft. Put Shallow bay flat first on the milk run — a weed flat near 3 ft that grades prime for spring. In summer the feeding windows fall in early morning and the evening. Tie on a texas-rigged 10" worm or a deep-diving crankbait and you're in the game.
| Season | Depth | Best window | Start at | Go-to baits |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Spring | 2 to 10 ft | dawn & dusk | Shallow bay flat (3 ft) | Spinnerbait, Chatterbait |
| Summer | 5 to 16 ft | dawn & dusk | Break off the point (7 ft) | Texas-rigged 10" worm, Deep-diving crankbait |
| Fall | 4 to 15 ft | midday & dawn | Main-lake point (8 ft) | Squarebill crankbait (shad), Spinnerbait |
| Winter | 5 to 16 ft | midday | Break off the point (7 ft) | Blade bait, Jigging spoon |
Structure-wise the chart holds 6 features, led in depth by Deep basin at roughly 14 ft.
