This Evans County water is recorded as Rogers Lake, a reservoir, and I would spend the first part of the trip around one short part of the lake until I get a useful clue from the first hour. On unfamiliar water, I would rather fish one sheltered part of the lake until I see enough in the first setup than make several random moves.
Rogers Lake Size, Maximum Depth and Volume
Surface area, maximum depth, and storage are not well documented for Rogers Lake, so I would keep those values open until a reliable lake-specific record provides the figure while I work one straightforward starting zone until I see enough in the opening stretch.
Fishing This Water
A dependable species list for Rogers Lake is still hard to verify, so a first trip makes more sense with a light spinning setup with a soft plastic and live-bait option around one promising starting zone, staying flexible until I get a clear read from the first area. I would rather use a small selection of dependable baits around one easy-to-read area near the launch on Rogers Lake and wait until I get a clear read from the first adjustment before changing direction.
A Practical Rogers Lake Game Plan
A practical first day on Rogers Lake starts with one manageable area near the launch and one target species; from there I would change one part of the plan before the rest after I learn something from the first few casts. If I learn something from the nearby water, I would keep working one nearby piece of water on Rogers Lake and treat that as the main lesson from the first visit. If I learn something from the opening stretch, I would keep track of the depth and presentation around one short piece of water so the next trip to Rogers Lake starts with a real plan.
