39-acre lake near Caratunk. The lake tops out around 18 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:
On the chart, Robinson Pond draws 39 acres inside 1.6 miles of shoreline — one island included. The shoreline is moderately structured (index 1.8) — enough points and pockets to pattern. Littoral water — the productive band under ~15 ft — makes up 98% of this chart. Call it 0.6 mi long by 0.2 mi wide at the broadest reach. The water lies in Somerset County. For a second option, Heald Pond (Big) lies 1 mi east.
In spring, brook trout run shallow here, mostly 2 to 15 ft. Midsummer fish sit out in 5 to 18 ft before dropping to 3 to 18 ft for winter. Summer brook trout concentrate at Deep basin, a prime-rated deep basin around 17 ft. Fish it in early morning and the evening and you'll meet the bite. You won't need more than a small spoon fished deep or a trolled lake-clear wobbler + worm most summer days.
| Season | Depth | Best window | Start at | Go-to baits |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Spring | 2 to 15 ft | dawn & dusk | Main-lake point (5 ft) | Small inline spinner (gold), Tiny spoon |
| Summer | 5 to 18 ft | dawn & dusk | Deep basin (17 ft) | Small spoon fished deep, Trolled lake-clear wobbler + worm |
| Fall | 2 to 15 ft | midday & dawn | Main-lake point (5 ft) | Small spoon (orange), Spinner |
| Winter | 3 to 18 ft | dawn | Deep basin (17 ft) | Small jigging spoon, Tungsten jig + plastic |
