913-acre lake near Lynchtown Township. The lake tops out around 93 ft. The depth chart comes from published agency bathymetric survey data, so the contours are survey-derived rather than computer-modeled. Here's the year, species by species, as the scoring engine sees it.
The outline encloses 852 acres, worked by 10.5 miles of shoreline, broken up by 3 islands. A development index of 2.6 means a maze of bays and points: far more casting targets than a round bowl of the same size. Roughly 18% of the water is 15 ft or less, the band where the food chain lives. Figure 2.5 mi of water from one end to the other, 1.2 mi at the beam. Oxford County claims this one. Otter Pond sits 2 mi north — the closest neighbouring chart.
Spring brook trout on Parmachenee Lake hold shallow, usually 2 to 15 ft. They move out to 10 to 30 ft in summer and finish the year down in 3 to 20 ft. Put Moose Brook inflow first on the milk run — an inflow / creek mouth near 22 ft that grades prime for summer. The feeding windows run early morning and the evening. The summer box starts with a small spoon fished deep or a trolled lake-clear wobbler + worm.
| Season | Depth | Best window | Start at | Go-to baits |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Spring | 2 to 15 ft | dawn & dusk | Main-lake point (13 ft) | Small inline spinner (gold), Tiny spoon |
| Summer | 10 to 30 ft | dawn & dusk | Moose Brook inflow (22 ft) | Small spoon fished deep, Trolled lake-clear wobbler + worm |
| Fall | 2 to 15 ft | midday & dawn | Main-lake point (13 ft) | Small spoon (orange), Spinner |
| Winter | 3 to 20 ft | dawn | Moose Brook inflow (22 ft) | Small jigging spoon, Tungsten jig + plastic |
When the water first warms, brown bullhead slide up into 2 to 8 ft. Summer is a 3 to 12 ft game here, winter a 10 to 25 ft one. Start at Shallow bay flat. It's a feeding flat holding about 8 ft of water and rates prime come summer. The feeding windows run after dark and the evening.
| Season | Depth | Best window | Start at | Go-to baits |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Spring | 2 to 8 ft | dusk & night | Shallow bay flat (8 ft) | |
| Summer | 3 to 12 ft | night & dusk | Shallow bay flat (8 ft) | |
| Fall | 5 to 15 ft | dusk | Shallow bay flat (8 ft) | |
