What you are dealing with

For a new-to-me lake like this, simple beats clever by making an honest pass along the best bank cover, any obvious weeds, and the deepest water I can reach and that is usually enough to tell you whether to stay shallow or start looking farther out.

Fish tied to this lake

The fish record for Egg Lake needs better exact-water evidence; before i planned around a specific fish, i would check the latest exact-water dnr information, and without pretending the species list tells me exactly where the fish are.

How I would keep it simple

If I were headed to Egg Lake tomorrow, I would pick a small part of the lake and try to understand it before worrying about everything else, then I would verify the latest bag, size, and season information before fishing.
