Within Caldwell Parish, Horseshoe Lake is identified as a lake, which is why I would start close and learn the immediate water first. A first look would begin around one straightforward shoreline stretch, because that keeps the day simple while the water is still unfamiliar.
Horseshoe Lake Size, Maximum Depth and Volume
Reliable acreage, maximum depth, and storage numbers are not readily available for Horseshoe Lake, and that is a reason to leave the missing number alone until a reliable source turns up, which is why I would leave the missing number alone until a reliable source turns up.

Fishing This Water
Exact species information is sparse for Horseshoe Lake, which makes it smarter to treat the first outing as a chance to identify the main targets, so the practical choice is to keep the tackle broad enough to learn what bites. I would keep the first outing flexible with one light rod with a few soft plastics and live bait, since one good bite is enough to start turning unknown water into familiar water.

A practical first day on Horseshoe Lake starts with one easy-to-read short stretch and one clear target; if the first area is quiet, I would change one thing at a time so I know whether the adjustment helped.
