Fish species in Mother Earth Upper

In Transylvania County, Mother Earth Upper is listed as a reservoir; my opening stop would be one nearby section of bank, and I would stay with it until I learn something from the first setup. The first trip does not have to solve everything, so I would keep fishing one short shoreline stretch until I learn something from the first adjustment before I add more distance or tackle.

Mother Earth Upper Size, Maximum Depth and Volume

Exact size and depth measurements are sparse for Mother Earth Upper, so I would leave the figures unstated until an official lake survey confirms the number and use one sheltered shoreline stretch until I find a repeatable bite in the first few casts.

Fish Species and Best Baits

The available fish information for Mother Earth Upper includes Black Crappie, Bluegill, Channel Catfish, and Largemouth Bass, so my opening plan would use the species I most want around one promising section of water and hold there until I find a repeatable bite in the nearby water. A compact spinnerbait, crankbait, and Texas-rigged plastic cover the basic bass approaches around one easy-to-read section of water on Mother Earth Upper; I would stay with them until I find a repeatable bite in the first hour.

A Practical Mother Earth Upper Game Plan

For a first trip to Mother Earth Upper, I would fish one manageable section of water long enough to judge the plan, then make the simplest change first after I see a pattern develop in the first setup. After I see a pattern develop in the opening stretch, I would give one nearby part of the lake more time on Mother Earth Upper instead of immediately looking elsewhere. Once I get a useful answer from the first few casts, I would remember what worked around one short part of the lake and begin the next trip to Mother Earth Upper with that same clue.
