22-acre pond near ORANGE. The lake tops out around 15 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.
On the chart, ORANGE POND draws 22 acres inside 0.7 miles of shoreline. Its 1.1 shoreline index means few bank features; the contours below do the pattern work. Tip to tip the water measures near 0.3 mi with a 0.2-mi widest point. The water lies in Grafton County. Closest neighbour on DepthScout: Tewksbury Pond, 1 mi southwest of here.
In spring, brook trout run shallow here, mostly 2 to 15 ft. Summer keeps them at 5 to 15 ft, and they winter in 2 to 15 ft. Summer brook trout concentrate at Deep basin, a prime-rated deep basin around 15 ft. Fish it in early morning and the evening and you'll meet the bite. You won't need more than a small spoon fished deep or a trolled lake-clear wobbler + worm most summer days.

|---|---|---|---|---|
| Spring | 2 to 15 ft | dawn & dusk | Main-lake point (2 ft) | Small inline spinner (gold), Tiny spoon |

Spring puts rainbow trout in skinny water — 4 to 15 ft is the zone. Summer fish stay in 4 to 15 ft, and winter fish hold in 3 to 15 ft. Break off the point is the standout, a drop-off at roughly 5 ft, rated prime for winter rainbow trout. Plan around early morning and the evening in the warm months. A dodger + spoon (deep troll) or a flutter spoon covers the summer program.
