59-acre pond near Indian Lake. The lake tops out around 20 ft. The depth chart is built from real state fisheries GPS surveys, so the humps, channels and drop-offs you see are measured, not guessed. The rest of this page walks each species through its year, using the map's own scoring.
Traced from the shoreline, Sprague Pond runs 58 acres with 1.4 miles of edge. At index 1.3 the outline is almost a bowl — read the depth changes, not the shoreline. Littoral water — the productive band under ~15 ft — makes up 71% of this chart. Tip to tip the water measures near 0.4 mi with a 0.4-mi widest point. The nearest mapped water is Lake Durant, 4 mi to the northwest.
When the water first warms, brown trout slide up into 2 to 20 ft. There's no big seasonal slide here — summer means 6 to 20 ft, winter 3 to 20 ft. If you only fish one area, make it Break off the point: a drop-off around 19 ft that scores prime in summer. In summer the feeding windows fall in after dark and early morning. Keep a spoon at the thermocline or a deep stickbait (night) rigged through the warm months.
| Season | Depth | Best window | Start at | Go-to baits |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Spring | 2 to 20 ft | dawn & dusk | Main-lake point (2 ft) | Stickbait off planer boards (shallow), Small spoon along mud lines |
| Summer | 6 to 20 ft | night & dawn | Break off the point (19 ft) | Spoon at the thermocline, Deep stickbait (night) |
| Fall | 3 to 20 ft | dusk & dawn | Main-lake point (2 ft) | Jerkbait over gravel, Casting spoon |
| Winter | 3 to 20 ft | dawn | Break off the point (19 ft) | Jigging spoon, Small stickbait (slow) |
