In Dade County, Young Lake is listed as a reservoir; my opening stop would be one sheltered starting zone, and I would stay with it until I learn something from the first area. The first trip does not have to solve everything, so I would keep fishing one straightforward area near the launch until I learn something from the first adjustment before I add more distance or tackle.
Young Lake Size, Maximum Depth and Volume
Exact size and depth measurements are sparse for Young Lake, so I would leave the figures unstated until a verified bathymetric map supports the measurement and use one promising area near the launch until I find a repeatable bite in the first few casts.
Fishing This Water
Species information for Young Lake is limited, so I would use one versatile setup with a jig, spinner, and bait rig around one easy-to-read piece of water and wait to specialize until I find a repeatable bite in the nearby water. I would choose one bait style that fits the target on Young Lake, work it around one manageable piece of water, and keep it there until I find a repeatable bite in the first hour.
A Practical Young Lake Game Plan
For a first trip to Young Lake, I would fish one nearby piece of water long enough to judge the plan, then change location before rebuilding the tackle plan after I see a pattern develop in the first setup. After I see a pattern develop in the first adjustment, I would give one short section of bank more time on Young Lake instead of immediately looking elsewhere. Once I get a useful answer from the first few casts, I would remember what worked around one sheltered section of bank and begin the next trip to Young Lake with that same clue.
