Harrison Lake sits in Barrow County and is classified as a reservoir; I would pick one manageable shoreline stretch as the first section and keep fishing it until I find a repeatable bite in the first few casts. For the opening part of the day, I would keep working one nearby shoreline stretch until I find a repeatable bite in the nearby water, because moving constantly makes a lake harder to read.
Harrison Lake Size, Maximum Depth and Volume
Harrison Lake does not have a dependable set of published size and depth measurements, so I would wait until a trustworthy source publishes a defensible number before trusting a number and stay around one sheltered section of water until I find a repeatable bite in the opening stretch.
Fishing This Water
Public fish information tied specifically to Harrison Lake is sparse, so I would start with a compact mix of live bait plus one or two simple lures around one straightforward section of water and avoid specializing until I see a pattern develop in the first area. The first trip to Harrison Lake is easier to read when the tackle stays simple around one promising part of the lake, at least until I see a pattern develop in the first adjustment.
A Practical Harrison Lake Game Plan
If I were seeing Harrison Lake for the first time, I would work one easy-to-read part of the lake with only a few dependable baits and make only the changes the first few bites justify after I get a useful answer from the first few casts. If I get a useful answer from the nearby water, I would stay around one manageable part of the lake on Harrison Lake and use that clue on the next similar stretch. After I get a useful answer from the first hour, I would leave Harrison Lake knowing that one nearby starting zone deserves another look before I start searching somewhere else.
