2,194-acre lake near Weld. The lake tops out around 42 ft. The depth chart comes from published agency bathymetric survey data, so the contours are survey-derived rather than computer-modeled. What follows comes from the same scoring engine that paints the spots above.
Drawn out, this is 2,189 acres of water rimmed by 18.2 miles of bank — 6 islands included. With a shoreline index of 2.8, this water is all arms and coves — edge habitat well beyond its acreage. Roughly 25% of the water is 15 ft or less, the band where the food chain lives. Call it 4.7 mi long by 1.8 mi wide at the broadest reach. The water lies in Franklin County. For a second option, Ellis Pond lies 11 mi west.
Spring puts brook trout in skinny water — 2 to 15 ft is the zone. Warm water sends them out to 10 to 30 ft; cold water stacks them in 3 to 20 ft. East Brook inflow is the standout, an inflow / creek mouth at roughly 1 ft, rated prime for spring brook trout. Plan around early morning and the evening in the warm months. A small spoon fished deep or a trolled lake-clear wobbler + worm covers the summer program.
| Season | Depth | Best window | Start at | Go-to baits |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Spring | 2 to 15 ft | dawn & dusk | East Brook inflow (1 ft) | Small inline spinner (gold), Tiny spoon |
| Summer | 10 to 30 ft | dawn & dusk | East Brook inflow (1 ft) | Small spoon fished deep, Trolled lake-clear wobbler + worm |
| Fall | 2 to 15 ft | midday & dawn | East Brook inflow (1 ft) | Small spoon (orange), Spinner |
| Winter | 3 to 20 ft | dawn | East Brook inflow (1 ft) | Small jigging spoon, Tungsten jig + plastic |
When the water first warms, brown trout slide up into 3 to 25 ft. Summer is a 13 to 42 ft game here, winter a 5 to 35 ft one. Start at Break off the point. It's a drop-off holding about 38 ft of water and rates prime come summer. The feeding windows run 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 | 3 to 25 ft | dawn & dusk | East Brook inflow (1 ft) | Stickbait off planer boards (shallow), Small spoon along mud lines |
| Summer | 13 to 42 ft | night & dawn | Break off the point (38 ft) | Spoon at the thermocline, Deep stickbait (night) |
| Fall | 5 to 30 ft | dusk & dawn | East Brook inflow (1 ft) | Jerkbait over gravel, Casting spoon |
| Winter | 5 to 35 ft | dawn | East Brook inflow (1 ft) | Jigging spoon, Small stickbait (slow) |
Come spring, look for chain pickerel tight to the bank in 2 to 10 ft. Expect a summer slide to 3 to 15 ft, then a winter hold in 5 to 18 ft. Start at Shallow bay flat. It's a weed flat holding about 1 ft of water and rates prime come spring. Prime time lands in early morning and the evening. A weedless spoon + trailer or a buzzbait is the honest summer answer here.
| Season | Depth | Best window | Start at | Go-to baits |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Spring | 2 to 10 ft | midday & dawn | Shallow bay flat (1 ft) | Inline spinner (silver), Small spoon (red/white) |
| Summer | 3 to 15 ft | dawn & dusk | Shallow bay flat (1 ft) | Weedless spoon + trailer, Buzzbait |
| Fall | 4 to 15 ft | midday & dawn | Shallow bay flat (1 ft) | Jerkbait along weed edges, Spinnerbait |
| Winter | 5 to 18 ft | dawn | Shallow feeding flat (20 ft) | Jigging spoon (through ice) |
In spring, landlocked salmon run shallow here, mostly 1 to 15 ft. Midsummer fish sit out in 13 to 42 ft before dropping to 10 to 40 ft for winter. Spring landlocked salmon concentrate at East Brook inflow, a prime-rated inflow / creek mouth around 1 ft. Fish it in early morning and the evening and you'll meet the bite. You won't need more than a dodger + streamer down deep or a thin spoon on lead core most summer days.
| Season | Depth | Best window | Start at | Go-to baits |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Spring | 1 to 15 ft | dawn & dusk | East Brook inflow (1 ft) | Streamer flies (Grey Ghost) off boards, Thin spoon (Mooselook style) |
| Summer | 13 to 42 ft | dawn & dusk | Deep basin (42 ft) | Dodger + streamer down deep, Thin spoon on lead core |
| Fall | 5 to 30 ft | dawn & dusk | East Brook inflow (1 ft) | Casting spoon at the mouths, Streamers |
| Winter | 10 to 40 ft | dawn | Break off the point (38 ft) | Small jigging spoon, Swedish pimple + smelt |
The spring pattern is a shallow one: smallmouth bass in 3 to 12 ft. As the season builds they drop to 10 to 30 ft, wintering in 13 to 42 ft. Top water on the chart: Break off the point, a drop-off in the 38 ft range, prime in winter. Time it for early morning and the evening. Summer baits: a drop shot (goby/minnow) or a ned rig gets it done.
| Season | Depth | Best window | Start at | Go-to baits |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Spring | 3 to 12 ft | dawn & dusk | Main-lake point (2 ft) | Ned rig, Tube jig |
| Summer | 10 to 30 ft | dawn & dusk | Old creek channel (28 ft) | Drop shot (goby/minnow), Ned rig |
| Fall | 8 to 25 ft | midday & dawn | Main-lake point (2 ft) | Jerkbait, Blade bait |
| Winter | 13 to 42 ft | midday | Break off the point (38 ft) | Blade bait, Hair jig |
Spring puts white perch in skinny water — 4 to 15 ft is the zone. Warm water sends them out to 15 to 40 ft; cold water stacks them in 13 to 42 ft. Deep basin is the standout, a deep basin at roughly 42 ft, rated prime for fall white perch. Plan around early morning in the warm months. A small spinner rig drifted or a 1/8 oz jigging spoon covers the summer program.
| Season | Depth | Best window | Start at | Go-to baits |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Spring | 4 to 15 ft | dusk | East Brook inflow (1 ft) | Small jig + curly tail, Inline spinner (silver) |
| Summer | 15 to 40 ft | dawn | Deep basin (42 ft) | Small spinner rig drifted, 1/8 oz jigging spoon |
| Fall | 13 to 42 ft | midday | Deep basin (42 ft) | Jigging spoon (small), Blade bait |
| Winter | 13 to 42 ft | dusk | Deep basin (42 ft) | Small rattle spoon, Tungsten + spikes |
