La Follette Reservoir is a reservoir in Campbell County, and on a first trip I would start around one manageable section of bank and stay there until I see a pattern develop in 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 useful clue from the first few casts.

La Follette Reservoir Size, Maximum Depth and Volume

A dependable standalone set of acreage, depth, and volume figures is not readily available for La Follette Reservoir, so I would not guess at them until a trustworthy source publishes a defensible number and would work one promising shoreline stretch until I get a clear read from the first few casts.

Fishing This Water

The fishery at La Follette Reservoir is lightly documented, so I would use one light rod with a jig, worm, and float around one promising section of water and let the first trip stay broad until I learn something from the first hour. The best first setup on La Follette Reservoir is a simple one around one straightforward section of water, and I would leave it alone until I see a pattern develop in the first hour.

A Practical La Follette Reservoir Game Plan

I would approach La Follette Reservoir by choosing one sheltered part of the lake, one target, and a small tackle selection, then change location before rebuilding the tackle plan after I get a useful clue from the opening stretch. If I get a clear read from the opening stretch, I would stop searching randomly and fish one short part of the lake properly on La Follette Reservoir. If I see a pattern develop in 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 La Follette Reservoir.
