A half-covered sky tonight, with a consistent blow out of the NE with a settled glass. Most of the action on Lake Lorna Doone should come off the shallows early and the drop later. Block out the hours from the day. Cover water early, then settle where the signs are. Cooler water spreads fish back across the shallows.

Orange County in Florida is where Lake Lorna Doone sits. It lies 72 feet above sea level. The water measures roughly 15 acres, so nothing here is far from anything else. The closest town, Orlando, is 1.5 miles distant. Then Holden Heights, 3.2 miles, and Pine Hills, 3.2 miles. If this one is busy: Rock Lake within 0.4 miles, Sunset Lake a touch under 0.6 miles, Spring Lake within 1.1 miles, Lake Dot a touch under 1.2 miles and Clear Lake within 1.5 miles. This one is safely inside the county line.
Nothing in our records gives a depth for this one. Read the surface for the wind lane, then fish the edge of it. Weed, then depth: that is the order to fish a water of this kind. Species logged nearby in open biodiversity records include bluegill, largemouth bass, blue tilapia, Florida gar and black crappie. The records cover the area rather than this water alone. Work Lake Lorna Doone in sections rather than trying to cover it.
Long-run averages give July about 82°F and January about 60°F. The water stays warm and open throughout. The first and last hours carry the summer; the middle is slow. April and May are the settled weeks, with October close behind. Anyone fishing Lake Lorna Doone regularly works to that calendar.
Public sources are silent on who controls the bank. You can park 160 yards away and walk in from there. Bass water: a Texas-rigged worm near cover, a spinnerbait when you need to cover ground. Where access is informal, keep it that way by behaving. Close seasons apply to some species and not others. Rock Lake at 0.4 miles is the sensible second choice. The position on Lake Lorna Doone is worth confirming on the day.
