73-acre lake near T3 R5 BKP WKR. The lake tops out around 6 ft. The depth chart comes from published agency bathymetric survey data, so the contours are survey-derived rather than computer-modeled. Below is the species-by-species picture, pulled from the same data the map uses.
Parker Pond maps at 73 acres behind 2.5 miles of shoreline — one island included. With a 2.1 development index there's bank structure worth casting at, in moderation. All of it is shallow-zone water — under ~15 ft across the entire basin, so the food chain has the run of the place. Figure 1 mi of water from one end to the other, 0.3 mi at the beam. It sits in Somerset County. Spencer Lake sits 5 mi north — the closest neighbouring chart.
Spring brook trout on Parker Pond hold shallow, usually 1 to 6 ft. Depth-wise the year is flat: 2 to 6 ft in summer, 1 to 6 ft once it turns cold. The chart's best answer is Deep basin — deep basin, 5 ft, prime for summer. Prime time lands in early morning and the evening. The summer box starts with a small spoon fished deep or a trolled lake-clear wobbler + worm.
