In Calhoun County, Blue Lake is listed as a lake; my opening stop would be one manageable area near the launch, and I would stay with it until I see enough in the first few casts. The first trip does not have to solve everything, so I would keep fishing one nearby piece of water until I see enough in the nearby water before I add more distance or tackle.
Blue Lake Size, Maximum Depth and Volume
For trip planning, the available measurements for Blue Lake are about 2 surface acres, which helps me judge how large an area to fish while I stay around one short piece of water until I see enough in the opening stretch.
Fishing This Water
Species information for Blue Lake is limited, so I would use a small tackle bag with a few soft plastics and live bait around one sheltered section of bank and wait to specialize until I get a clear read from the first area. I would choose one bait style that fits the target on Blue Lake, work it around one straightforward section of bank, and keep it there until I get a clear read from the first adjustment.
A Practical Blue Lake Game Plan
For a first trip to Blue Lake, I would fish one promising section of bank long enough to judge the plan, then change depth before changing every bait after I learn something from the first few casts. After I learn something from the nearby water, I would give one easy-to-read shoreline stretch more time on Blue Lake instead of immediately looking elsewhere. Once I learn something from the first hour, I would remember what worked around one manageable shoreline stretch and begin the next trip to Blue Lake with that same clue.
