Rating depth structure for brook trout.

11-acre lake near Pierce Pond Twp. The lake tops out around 25 ft. The depth chart comes from published agency bathymetric survey data, so the contours are survey-derived rather than computer-modeled. What the data behind the map says about each species, season by season:
Pickerel Pond maps at 11 acres behind 0.7 miles of shoreline. Nearly circular (index 1.4), so the story is the bottom, not the bank. About 91% of the surface sits shallower than 15 ft — that's the weed-and-bait zone. The basin spans about 0.3 mi end to end. Somerset County claims this one. If the bite dies, Dixon Pond is 1 mi to the southwest.
Come spring, look for brook trout tight to the bank in 2 to 15 ft. They move out to 8 to 25 ft in summer and finish the year down in 3 to 20 ft. If you only fish one area, make it Deep basin: a deep basin around 21 ft that scores prime in summer. Best bite is early morning and the evening. A small spoon fished deep or a trolled lake-clear wobbler + worm is the honest summer answer here.
| Season | Depth | Best window | Start at | Go-to baits |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Spring | 2 to 15 ft | dawn & dusk | Main-lake point (7 ft) | Small inline spinner (gold), Tiny spoon |
| Summer | 8 to 25 ft | dawn & dusk | Deep basin (21 ft) | Small spoon fished deep, Trolled lake-clear wobbler + worm |
| Fall | 2 to 15 ft | midday & dawn | Main-lake point (7 ft) | Small spoon (orange), Spinner |
| Winter | 3 to 20 ft | dawn | Break off the point (8 ft) | Small jigging spoon, Tungsten jig + plastic |
Pickerel Pond carries 3 mapped structure features, topping out (or rather bottoming out) at Deep basin, about 21 ft down.
| Date | Species | Count | Size |

| May 18 | Brook Trout | 500 | ~11" |
