Challis Lake is a reservoir in North Carolina, near Mecklenburg County.
Challis Lake sits in Mecklenburg County and is classified as a reservoir; I would pick one promising part of the lake as the first section and keep fishing it until I see enough in the first few casts. For the opening part of the day, I would keep working one easy-to-read part of the lake until I see enough in the nearby water, because moving constantly makes a lake harder to read.
Challis Lake does not have a dependable set of published size and depth measurements, so I would wait until a reliable lake-specific record provides the figure before trusting a number and stay around one manageable starting zone until I see enough in the first hour.
Known fish for Challis Lake include Black Crappie, Bluegill, Channel Catfish, Largemouth Bass, and Redear Sunfish, so I would build the first part of the day around a single target fish at one nearby starting zone and avoid switching until I get a clear read from the first setup. If bass are present in Challis Lake, a spinnerbait plus a Texas-rigged plastic gives a practical combination around one short area near the launch; I would change it only when I get a clear read from the first adjustment.
If I were seeing Challis Lake for the first time, I would work one sheltered area near the launch with only a few dependable baits and change one part of the plan before the rest after I learn something from the first few casts. If I learn something from the nearby water, I would stay around one straightforward area near the launch on Challis Lake and use that clue on the next similar stretch. After I learn something from the first hour, I would leave Challis Lake knowing that one promising piece of water deserves another look before I start searching somewhere else.
