Rating depth structure for brook trout.

43-acre lake near Chase Stream 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. What the data behind the map says about each species, season by season:
On the chart, Ten Thousand Acre Pond draws 43 acres inside 2.8 miles of shoreline. That shoreline is heavily fingered (development index 3.1) — bays, points and pockets everywhere, which multiplies the fishable edge. 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 1.2 mi with a 0.2-mi widest point. The water lies in Somerset County. Closest neighbour on DepthScout: Chase Stream Pond, 1 mi west of here.
The spring pattern is a shallow one: brook trout in 1 to 9 ft. The depth story barely changes: 3 to 9 ft through summer, 1 to 9 ft in winter. The spot to know is Deep basin, a deep basin in about 9 ft of water that rates prime for brook trout in summer. Plan around early morning and the evening in the warm months. Summer baits: a small spoon fished deep or a trolled lake-clear wobbler + worm gets it done.
| Season | Depth | Best window | Start at | Go-to baits |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Spring | 1 to 9 ft | dawn & dusk | Main-lake point (2 ft) | Small inline spinner (gold), Tiny spoon |
| Summer | 3 to 9 ft | dawn & dusk | Deep basin (9 ft) | Small spoon fished deep, Trolled lake-clear wobbler + worm |
| Fall | 1 to 9 ft | midday & dawn | Main-lake point (2 ft) | Small spoon (orange), Spinner |
| Winter | 1 to 9 ft | dawn | Deep basin (9 ft) | Small jigging spoon, Tungsten jig + plastic |
