33-acre lake near Hammond Twp. The lake tops out around 30 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 33 acres, worked by 1 miles of shoreline. Its 1.2 shoreline index means few bank features; the contours below do the pattern work. Roughly 71% of the water is 15 ft or less, the band where the food chain lives. Tip to tip the water measures near 0.3 mi with a 0.3-mi widest point. It sits in Somerset County. Hutch Pond sits 1 mi east — the closest neighbouring chart.
Spring brook trout on Dority Pond hold shallow, usually 2 to 15 ft. By summer they slide out to 10 to 30 ft, and by winter most fish are in 3 to 20 ft. The chart's best answer is Deep basin — deep basin, 29 ft, prime for summer. Prime time lands in early morning and the evening. The summer box starts with a small spoon fished deep or a trolled lake-clear wobbler + worm.
