A useful start on White Ridge Tank is simple: make one shallow pass and one deeper pass on the same shoreline; that shows whether fish are tight to cover or using the first break.
During the first hour on White Ridge Tank, in spring, start with warming banks, creek mouths, and shallow cover; summer usually pushes the better bite toward the outside weed edge or a nearby drop; fall can bring bait back to windblown points, while winter calls for smaller moves and a slower pace.
To begin fishing White Ridge Tank, a medium spinning rod, 8-pound line, a small box of jigs, a few crankbaits, and a simple bottom rig cover most situations; change depth or speed before changing every piece of tackle.
