Cato Lake is a lake in Florida, near Citrus County.
Anglers looking at Citrus County will find Cato Lake, a lake; I would give one short section of bank a fair chance and resist moving until I see enough in the nearby water. A first trip should leave me with something specific, so I would stay around one sheltered section of bank until I see enough in the first hour.
Published figures put Cato Lake at about 6.1 surface acres, so I would use those numbers to decide how much shoreline to learn while I fish one straightforward section of bank until I get a clear read from the first setup.
A reliable fish list for Cato Lake is difficult to confirm, so I would carry one light rod with a jig, worm, and float, fish one promising shoreline stretch, and leave the target open until I get a clear read from the opening stretch. I would keep the tackle narrow on Cato Lake, fish one easy-to-read shoreline stretch, and avoid changing everything until I learn something from the first area.
My first plan for Cato Lake would be to fish one nearby section of water deliberately and make the simplest change first only after I learn something from the first adjustment. When I learn something from the first hour, I would stay around one short section of water on Cato Lake and build the rest of the trip around that pattern. If I find a repeatable bite in the first setup, I would count that as a successful first visit and come back to Cato Lake with one sheltered part of the lake already on the short list.
