96-acre lake near T14 R9 WELS. The lake tops out around 87 ft. The depth chart comes from published agency bathymetric survey data, so the contours are survey-derived rather than computer-modeled. Every species below gets its seasonal read from the same numbers driving the chart.
Traced from the shoreline, Third Chase Pond runs 96 acres with 1.7 miles of edge. A shoreline index of 1.2 says round and simple: fish relate to depth changes here, not shoreline features. Roughly 8% of the water is 15 ft or less, the band where the food chain lives. Figure 0.6 mi of water from one end to the other, 0.3 mi at the beam. The water lies in Aroostook County. For a second option, Second Chase Pond lies 1 mi east.
Start shallow in spring: brook trout sit in 2 to 15 ft that time of year. Warm water sends them out to 10 to 30 ft; cold water stacks them in 3 to 20 ft. Top water on the chart: Main-lake point, a point in the 15 ft range, prime in spring. Fish it in early morning and the evening and you'll meet the bite. Throw a small spoon fished deep or a trolled lake-clear wobbler + worm until the fish tell you otherwise.
| Season | Depth | Best window | Start at | Go-to baits |
