A Practical Dexter Lake Game Plan
For Dexter Lake, I would spend the opening part of the trip around one short section of water, avoid constant relocation, and make the simplest change first after I find a repeatable bite in the first area. Once I find a repeatable bite in the first adjustment, I would keep working one sheltered section of water on Dexter Lake before deciding whether to stay, move, or change depth. The moment I see a pattern develop in the first few casts, I would remember the setup I used around one straightforward part of the lake and make that the first test on my next trip to Dexter Lake.
