Rating depth structure for brook trout.

515-acre lake near T6 R11 WELS. The lake tops out around 44 ft. The depth chart comes from Maine Department of Environmental Protection 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.
On the chart, Webster Lake draws 512 acres inside 7 miles of shoreline, broken up by 2 islands. That shoreline is heavily fingered (development index 2.2) — bays, points and pockets everywhere, which multiplies the fishable edge. Littoral water — the productive band under ~15 ft — makes up 34% of this chart. Tip to tip the water measures near 3 mi with a 0.5-mi widest point. The water lies in Piscataquis County. For a second option, Coffeelos Pond lies 3 mi west.
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: Creek inflow, an inflow / creek mouth in the 4 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 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Spring | 2 to 15 ft | dawn & dusk | Creek inflow (4 ft) | Small inline spinner (gold), Tiny spoon |
| Summer | 10 to 30 ft | dawn & dusk | Break off the point (27 ft) | Small spoon fished deep, Trolled lake-clear wobbler + worm |
| Fall | 2 to 15 ft | midday & dawn | Creek inflow (4 ft) | Small spoon (orange), Spinner |
| Winter | 3 to 20 ft | dawn | Creek inflow (4 ft) | Small jigging spoon, Tungsten jig + plastic |
When the water first warms, lake whitefish slide up into 13 to 44 ft. There's no big seasonal slide here — summer means 13 to 44 ft, winter 13 to 44 ft. If you only fish one area, make it Deep basin: a deep basin around 41 ft that scores prime in summer. In summer the feeding windows fall in early morning. Keep a blade bait vertical or a small jigging spoon rigged through the warm months.
Depth note: when a documented seasonal range extends below this chart, the table shows the deepest mapped working water, not a verified holding depth.
| Season | Depth | Best window | Start at | Go-to baits |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Spring | 13 to 44 ft chart-limited; documented 15 to 45 ft | midday & dawn | Break off the point (27 ft) | Small jig + waxworm, Blade bait (small) |
| Summer | 13 to 44 ft chart-limited; documented 40 to 90 ft | dawn | Deep basin (41 ft) | Blade bait vertical, Small jigging spoon |
| Fall | 8 to 30 ft | dusk | Break off the point (27 ft) | Small spoon (gold), Jig + plastic larva |
| Winter | 13 to 44 ft chart-limited; documented 25 to 70 ft | midday & dawn | Deep basin (41 ft) | Jigging spoon + bead chain, Tungsten jig + waxie |
Start shallow in spring: lake trout sit in 10 to 40 ft that time of year. Summer pushes them deeper, 13 to 44 ft, and winter fish settle into 11 to 44 ft. The spot to know is Deep basin, a deep basin in about 41 ft of water that rates prime for lake trout in summer. Warm-month bites cluster around early morning. Throw a white tube jig (deep) or a magnum spoon on downrigger until the fish tell you otherwise.
Depth note: when a documented seasonal range extends below this chart, the table shows the deepest mapped working water, not a verified holding depth.
| Season | Depth | Best window | Start at | Go-to baits |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Spring | 10 to 40 ft | dawn & dusk | Main-lake point (11 ft) | Casting spoon over shoals, Jerkbait (shallow) |
| Summer | 13 to 44 ft chart-limited; documented 50 to 120 ft | dawn | Deep basin (41 ft) | White tube jig (deep), Magnum spoon on downrigger |
| Fall | 9 to 44 ft chart-limited; documented 10 to 50 ft | dusk & dawn | Main-lake point (11 ft) | Heavy casting spoon, Jigging rap over reefs |
| Winter | 11 to 44 ft chart-limited; documented 20 to 80 ft | dawn | Deep basin (41 ft) | White tube jig, Airplane jig |
9 pieces of structure are mapped here — Deep basin, around 41 ft, is the deepest of them.
