A Practical Willie Pond Game Plan
For Willie Pond, I would spend the opening part of the trip around one easy-to-read part of the lake, avoid constant relocation, and make only the changes the first few bites justify after I see a pattern develop in the first area. Once I see a pattern develop in the first adjustment, I would keep working one manageable part of the lake on Willie Pond before deciding whether to stay, move, or change depth.
