146-acre lake near Rainbow Twp. The lake tops out around 58 ft. The depth chart comes from published agency bathymetric survey data, so the contours are survey-derived rather than computer-modeled. Here is how the season plays out for each species, straight from the data behind the map.
The outline encloses 147 acres, worked by 3.9 miles of shoreline, broken up by an island. A development index of 2.3 means a maze of bays and points: far more casting targets than a round bowl of the same size. Roughly 64% of the water is 15 ft or less, the band where the food chain lives. End to end it runs roughly 1 mi, about 0.6 mi across. Piscataquis County claims this one. If the bite dies, Female Pond is 2 mi to the southwest.
Come spring, look for brook trout tight to the bank in 2 to 15 ft. They move out to 10 to 30 ft in summer and finish the year down in 3 to 20 ft. If you only fish one area, make it Break off the point: a drop-off around 18 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 (1 ft) | Small inline spinner (gold), Tiny spoon |
| Summer | 10 to 30 ft | dawn & dusk | Break off the point (18 ft) | Small spoon fished deep, Trolled lake-clear wobbler + worm |
