Official stocking history

Stocking records show that the following fish or strains were stocked here. A historical stocking does not by itself prove that a self-sustaining population remains today.

Blue Cat Lake sits in Maury County and is classified as a reservoir; I would pick one easy-to-read area near the launch as the first section and keep fishing it until I find a repeatable bite in the nearby water. For the opening part of the day, I would keep working one promising area near the launch until I get a useful answer from the nearby water, because moving constantly makes a lake harder to read.

Blue Cat Lake Size, Maximum Depth and Volume

In terms of scale, Blue Cat Lake is described by about 103 surface acres and 5,760 acre-feet of storage, or roughly 1.9 billion gallons, so I would use that information to choose how much ground to cover while fishing one straightforward piece of water until I see enough in the first setup.

Fishing This Water

Public fish information tied specifically to Blue Cat Lake is sparse, so I would start with a basic first-trip selection of small artificials and a bottom rig around one sheltered piece of water and avoid specializing until I learn something from the first setup. The first trip to Blue Cat Lake is easier to read when the tackle stays simple around one short section of bank, at least until I see a pattern develop in the first area.

A Practical Blue Cat Lake Game Plan

If I were seeing Blue Cat Lake for the first time, I would work one nearby section of bank with only a few dependable baits and change depth before changing every bait after I see enough in the first area. If I learn something from the first area, I would stay around one manageable section of bank on Blue Cat Lake and use that clue on the next similar stretch. After I see a pattern develop in the first few casts, I would leave Blue Cat Lake knowing that one easy-to-read shoreline stretch deserves another look before I start searching somewhere else.
