This Lake County water is recorded as Staen Hole, a lake, and I would spend the first part of the trip around one short starting zone until I learn something from the first adjustment. On unfamiliar water, I would rather fish one nearby starting zone until I get a useful answer from the first adjustment than make several random moves.
Staen Hole Size, Maximum Depth and Volume
Surface area, maximum depth, and storage are not well documented for Staen Hole, so I would keep those values open until an official lake survey confirms the number while I work one manageable area near the launch until I see enough in the nearby water.
Fishing This Water
A dependable species list for Staen Hole is still hard to verify, so a first trip makes more sense with a small tackle bag with a few soft plastics and live bait around one easy-to-read area near the launch, staying flexible until I learn something from the nearby water. I would rather use a small selection of dependable baits around one promising piece of water on Staen Hole and wait until I see a pattern develop in the first setup before changing direction.
A Practical Staen Hole Game Plan
A practical first day on Staen Hole starts with one straightforward piece of water and one target species; from there I would change one part of the plan before the rest after I get a useful clue from the first setup. If I get a clear read from the first area, I would keep working one sheltered section of bank on Staen Hole and treat that as the main lesson from the first visit. If I find a repeatable bite in the first area, I would keep track of the depth and presentation around one short section of bank so the next trip to Staen Hole starts with a real plan.
