Stocking records show that the following fish or strains were stocked here. A historical stocking does not by itself prove that a self-sustaining population remains today.
Dunmore has a deep coldwater basin and enough bass and panfish habitat to suit very different fishing plans. Branbury State Park gives the family a lakeside base. Decide whether you're trolling deep water or casting shore cover before loading every rod into the boat.
Lake facts
Lake size: About 1,037 acres
Fish to target: Lake trout, rainbow trout, landlocked salmon, bass, pike and panfish
Depth: Maximum about 105 feet
Where to fish
Try a small smelt imitation for trout or salmon, adjusting depth as the surface warms. Bass suit a worm or jig along suitable cover and bottom changes. Panfish give a lighter-tackle option. A contour map helps separate the deep basin from the shallower recreation shoreline.
Getting on the water
The Magoon public access is at 947 West Shore Road in Salisbury. It has a concrete ramp, dock and trailer parking, with listed accessible facilities. Check current dock conditions if access features are important to your visit.
More to do at the lake
Branbury's beach, camping and picnic facilities can fill the rest of a lake stay. Keep fishing lines away from swimming areas. Paddling the shore is a calmer alternative when you don't want to spend the whole day trolling.
