Blue Lake is a reservoir in DeKalb County, and on a first trip I would start around one promising area near the launch and stay there until I see enough in the first area. I would keep the opening plan simple around one easy-to-read piece of water and leave it alone until I see enough in the first adjustment.
Blue Lake Size, Maximum Depth and Volume
A dependable standalone set of acreage, depth, and volume figures is not readily available for Blue Lake, so I would not guess at them until a current management document publishes a figure and would work one manageable piece of water until I get a clear read from the first few casts.
Fishing This Water
The fishery at Blue Lake is lightly documented, so I would use a small tackle bag with a few soft plastics and live bait around one nearby section of bank and let the first trip stay broad until I get a clear read from the nearby water. The best first setup on Blue Lake is a simple one around one short section of bank, and I would leave it alone until I get a clear read from the opening stretch.
A Practical Blue Lake Game Plan
I would approach Blue Lake by choosing one sheltered shoreline stretch, one target, and a small tackle selection, then change one variable at a time after I learn something from the first area. If I learn something from the first adjustment, I would stop searching randomly and fish one straightforward shoreline stretch properly on Blue Lake. If I find a repeatable bite in the first few casts, I would make a note of what happened around one promising shoreline stretch and use that as the starting point the next time I fish Blue Lake.
