59-acre lake near Dugger. A 59-acre lake in Greene-Sullivan State Forest's Dugger Unit with standing timber and irregular bottom contours, part of the reclaimed Dugger mine complex; shoreline from the USGS National Hydrography Dataset. The lake tops out around 38 ft. Bathymetry on this water is estimated from its real outline and maximum depth. Use it to shortlist water, then verify with your electronics — and never navigate by it. Every species below gets its seasonal read from the same numbers driving the chart.
The outline encloses 60 acres, worked by 2.3 miles of shoreline. The 2.2 development index tells the story — a convoluted bank whose fishable edge far outruns the acreage. Littoral water — the productive band under ~15 ft — makes up 65% of this chart, as modeled. The basin spans about 0.8 mi end to end and 0.3 mi across at its widest. It sits in Sullivan County. Turtle Lake (Greene-Sullivan) sits 0 mi north — the closest neighbouring chart.
Spring largemouth bass on Duck Lake (Greene-Sullivan) hold shallow, usually 2 to 10 ft. They move out to 8 to 20 ft in summer and finish the year down in 15 to 35 ft. Put Shallow bay flat first on the milk run — a weed flat near 5 ft that grades prime for spring. The feeding windows run early morning and the evening. The summer box starts with a texas-rigged 10" worm or a deep-diving crankbait.
