86-acre lake near Tamworth. NH GRANIT / NH Fish & Game survey water. The lake tops out around 40 ft. The depth chart is built from real state fisheries GPS surveys, so the humps, channels and drop-offs you see are measured, not guessed. What follows comes from the same scoring engine that paints the spots above.
White Lake maps at 86 acres behind 1.4 miles of shoreline. At index 1.1 the outline is almost a bowl — read the depth changes, not the shoreline. The shallow band under 15 ft claims about 16% of the surface — that's where the groceries are. Call it 0.5 mi long by 0.3 mi wide at the broadest reach. Carroll County claims this one. Its nearest charted neighbour, Moores Pond, is 2 mi to the northeast.
Spring brook trout on White Lake hold shallow, usually 2 to 15 ft. They move out to 10 to 30 ft in summer and finish the year down in 3 to 20 ft. Put Shallow bay flat first on the milk run — a feeding flat near 10 ft that grades good for spring. 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.

|---|---|---|---|---|
| Spring | 2 to 15 ft | dawn & dusk | Shallow bay flat (10 ft) | Small inline spinner (gold), Tiny spoon |

Summer baits: a weedless spoon + trailer or a buzzbait gets it done.
