21-acre lake near T1 R11 WELS. 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. The rest of this page walks each species through its year, using the map's own scoring.
The outline encloses 21 acres, worked by 1 miles of shoreline. With a 1.5 development index there's bank structure worth casting at, in moderation. The whole water is littoral — nothing here runs deeper than ~15 ft, so it's all weed-and-bait territory. The basin spans about 0.4 mi end to end. Piscataquis County claims this one. Rabbit Pond sits 2 mi southwest — the closest neighbouring chart.
Spring brook trout on Tumbledown Dick 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. Put Deep basin first on the milk run — a deep basin near 8 ft that grades prime for summer. The feeding windows run early morning and the evening. The summer box starts with a small spoon fished deep or a trolled lake-clear wobbler + worm.
