Day Lake is a reservoir in Tennessee, near Franklin County.
Day Lake is a reservoir in Franklin County, and on a first trip I would start around one manageable section of bank and stay there until I get a useful clue from the first area. I would keep the opening plan simple around one easy-to-read shoreline stretch and leave it alone until I get a clear read from the first few casts.
A dependable standalone set of acreage, depth, and volume figures is not readily available for Day Lake, so I would not guess at them until a dependable agency source confirms the number and would work one promising shoreline stretch until I find a repeatable bite in the first few casts.
The fishery at Day Lake is lightly documented, so I would use one versatile setup with a jig, spinner, and bait rig around one promising section of water and let the first trip stay broad until I see a pattern develop in the first hour. The best first setup on Day Lake is a simple one around one straightforward section of water, and I would leave it alone until I get a useful clue from the first hour.
I would approach Day Lake by choosing one sheltered part of the lake, one target, and a small tackle selection, then fix the first weak link in the approach after I get a clear read from the opening stretch. If I find a repeatable bite in the opening stretch, I would stop searching randomly and fish one short part of the lake properly on Day Lake. If I get a useful clue from the opening stretch, I would make a note of what happened around one nearby part of the lake and use that as the starting point the next time I fish Day Lake.
