Rating depth structure for brook trout.

35-acre lake near T9 R3 WELS. The lake tops out around 3 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 drawn water covers 35 acres wrapped in 1.3 miles of bank. A middling shoreline index (1.6) gives it some bays to work without being a maze. Nothing on this chart breaks 15 ft, which makes the whole surface littoral: weeds, bait and ambush cover everywhere. Tip to tip the water measures near 0.4 mi with a 0.2-mi widest point. Aroostook County claims this one. Its nearest charted neighbour, Ketchum Lake, is 6 mi to the northeast.
Come spring, look for brook trout tight to the bank in 1 to 3 ft. Through summer count on 1 to 3 ft; the winter hold is 1 to 3 ft. If you only fish one area, make it Deep basin: a deep basin around 3 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 | 1 to 3 ft | dawn & dusk | Main-lake point (2 ft) | Small inline spinner (gold), Tiny spoon |
| Summer | 1 to 3 ft | dawn & dusk | Deep basin (3 ft) | Small spoon fished deep, Trolled lake-clear wobbler + worm |
| Fall | 1 to 3 ft | midday & dawn | Main-lake point (2 ft) | Small spoon (orange), Spinner |
| Winter | 1 to 3 ft | dawn | Deep basin (3 ft) | Small jigging spoon, Tungsten jig + plastic |
5 pieces of structure are mapped here — Shallow bay flat, around 3 ft, is the deepest of them.
