I would give a few different kinds of spots an honest chance and I would begin around the best bank cover, any obvious weeds, and the deepest water I can reach and I would take a couple of bites in one type of water over a dozen pretty spots with no life.
The species record attached to Dorothy Lake includes Black Crappie, Bluegill, Brook Trout, Brown Trout, Largemouth Bass, Pumpkinseed, Rainbow Trout, and Yellow Perch; which keeps me focused on weeds, wood, rock, or docks for bass and weeds and easy cover for panfish, and stick with what produces signs of life.
For a first trip to Dorothy Lake, I would start with a simple plan and only add complexity if the fish make me, and I would not rely on an old screenshot or somebody's memory for current limits.
