Chase Lake is a reservoir in Macon County, and on a first trip I would start around one sheltered starting zone and stay there until I see enough in the first hour. I would keep the opening plan simple around one straightforward area near the launch and leave it alone until I get a clear read from the first setup.
Chase Lake Size, Maximum Depth and Volume
A dependable standalone set of acreage, depth, and volume figures is not readily available for Chase Lake, so I would not guess at them until a verified bathymetric map supports the measurement and would work one promising area near the launch until I get a clear read from the opening stretch.
Fishing This Water
The fishery at Chase Lake is lightly documented, so I would use one versatile setup with a jig, spinner, and bait rig around one easy-to-read piece of water and let the first trip stay broad until I learn something from the first area. The best first setup on Chase Lake is a simple one around one manageable piece of water, and I would leave it alone until I learn something from the first adjustment.
A Practical Chase Lake Game Plan
I would approach Chase Lake by choosing one nearby section of bank, one target, and a small tackle selection, then change depth before changing every bait after I find a repeatable bite in the first few casts. If I find a repeatable bite in the first setup, I would stop searching randomly and fish one short section of bank properly on Chase Lake. If I find a repeatable bite in the opening stretch, I would make a note of what happened around one sheltered section of bank and use that as the starting point the next time I fish Chase Lake.
