Up and Down Lake is a lake in Putnam County, and on a first trip I would start around one manageable area near the launch and stay there until I get a clear read from the first hour. I would keep the opening plan simple around one nearby piece of water and leave it alone until I learn something from the first setup.
Up and Down Lake Size, Maximum Depth and Volume
The useful physical figures for Up and Down Lake are about 25.4 surface acres, giving me enough scale to decide how large an area to fish while I work one short piece of water until I learn something from the first adjustment.
Fishing This Water
The fishery at Up and Down Lake is lightly documented, so I would use a small tackle bag with a few soft plastics and live bait around one sheltered section of bank and let the first trip stay broad until I find a repeatable bite in the first few casts. The best first setup on Up and Down Lake is a simple one around one straightforward section of bank, and I would leave it alone until I find a repeatable bite in the nearby water.
A Practical Up and Down Lake Game Plan
I would approach Up and Down Lake by choosing one promising shoreline stretch, one target, and a small tackle selection, then change one variable at a time after I find a repeatable bite in the first hour. If I see a pattern develop in the first setup, I would stop searching randomly and fish one easy-to-read shoreline stretch properly on Up and Down Lake. If I see a pattern develop in the opening stretch, I would make a note of what happened around one manageable shoreline stretch and use that as the starting point the next time I fish Up and Down Lake.
