Rating depth structure for brook trout.

14-acre lake near Parmachenee Twp. The lake tops out around 18 ft. The depth chart comes from published agency bathymetric survey data, so the contours are survey-derived rather than computer-modeled. What follows comes from the same scoring engine that paints the spots above.
Traced from the shoreline, Otter Pond runs 14 acres with 0.5 miles of edge. The basin is a simple one (shoreline index 1) — close to a bowl, so the structure on the chart matters more than the bank. Littoral water — the productive band under ~15 ft — makes up 74% of this chart. You'll find it in Oxford County. The nearest mapped water is Parmachenee Lake, 2 mi to the south.
Spring puts brook trout in skinny water — 2 to 15 ft is the zone. As the season builds they drop to 5 to 18 ft, wintering in 3 to 18 ft. Summer brook trout concentrate at Deep basin, a prime-rated deep basin around 18 ft. Warm-month bites cluster around early morning and the evening. A small spoon fished deep or a trolled lake-clear wobbler + worm covers the summer program.
| Season | Depth | Best window | Start at | Go-to baits |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Spring | 2 to 15 ft | dawn & dusk | Shallow bay flat (5 ft) | Small inline spinner (gold), Tiny spoon |
| Summer | 5 to 18 ft | dawn & dusk | Deep basin (18 ft) | Small spoon fished deep, Trolled lake-clear wobbler + worm |
