Torrey Lake

Torrey Lake is a named lake in Ashland County and the best current size-and-depth record is about 29 acres and a maximum depth of 31 feet, which gives you a decent picture of what kind of day on the water you are planning.

A quick look at the water

I would keep the first trip pretty simple with a simple look at the best bank cover, any obvious weeds, and the deepest water I can reach and I would pay more attention to where the first bite comes from than what lure caught it.

Recorded fish species

On the species side, Torrey Lake currently has Black Crappie, Bluegill, Largemouth Bass, Muskellunge, Northern Pike, Pumpkinseed, and Yellow Perch on record; so the first trip would at least account for weeds, wood, rock, or docks for bass and weeds and easy cover for panfish, and leave room to adjust if the first idea is wrong.

My basic approach

If we were fishing Torrey Lake together, I would rather learn one shoreline, bay, point, or break than spend the whole day running around, and I would check the current regulations before keeping anything.
