I have fished Lake Mary several times over the years(I like Lake Catherine much better). I have never caught a laker there. The lake is very deep, especially in the spring when the lake is full, but I don't know the exact depth. If you stand out on one of the solid rock banks, throw your line in, let it sink until it stops, and then reel in, you will notice that your line is coming up out of the water at a very steep angle(nearly vertical).
When the water draws down the lake kind of splits in two. I have never caught a fish on the half of the lake where the dam is. I have always caught my fish on the other half, which is very deep.
I have seen news articles way back when I was just a young kid where few big lakers were pulled out. By big I mean about 5 lbs or so, which is huge for any of those lakes up there. But I think those days are long gone.
There are suckers and shiner minnows in Lake Mary, so there is a forage base for the macks if they were there still there. But in my experiance they are gone. The DWR only plants brook trout anymore.
