10-acre lake near Seven Ponds Twp. The lake tops out around 9 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.
Secret Pond maps at 9 acres behind 0.5 miles of shoreline. Its 1.1 shoreline index means few bank features; the contours below do the pattern work. The whole water is littoral — nothing here runs deeper than ~15 ft, so it's all weed-and-bait territory. It sits in Franklin County. If the bite dies, Long Pond is 0 mi to the north.
Spring brook trout on Secret Pond hold shallow, usually 1 to 9 ft. Depth-wise the year is flat: 3 to 9 ft in summer, 1 to 9 ft once it turns cold. The chart's best answer is Deep basin — deep basin, 8 ft, prime for summer. Prime time lands in 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 | 1 to 9 ft | dawn & dusk | Shallow bay flat (2 ft) | Small inline spinner (gold), Tiny spoon |
| Summer | 3 to 9 ft | dawn & dusk | Deep basin (8 ft) | Small spoon fished deep, Trolled lake-clear wobbler + worm |
| Fall | 1 to 9 ft | midday & dawn | open water | Small spoon (orange), Spinner |
