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 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.
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.
| Season | Depth | Best window | Start at | Go-to baits |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Spring | 13 to 44 ft | midday & dawn | Break off the point (27 ft) | Small jig + waxworm, Blade bait (small) |
| Summer | 13 to 44 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 | midday & dawn | Deep basin (41 ft) | Jigging spoon + bead chain, Tungsten jig + waxie |
9 pieces of structure are mapped here — Deep basin, around 41 ft, is the deepest of them.
