Lochnevin Lake is a reservoir in Tennessee, near Shelby County.
This Shelby County water is recorded as Lochnevin Lake, a reservoir, and I would spend the first part of the trip around one sheltered part of the lake until I learn something from the opening stretch. On unfamiliar water, I would rather fish one short part of the lake until I see a pattern develop in the opening stretch than make several random moves.
Surface area, maximum depth, and storage are not well documented for Lochnevin Lake, so I would keep those values open until a dependable agency source confirms the number while I work one nearby starting zone until I see enough in the first adjustment.
A dependable species list for Lochnevin Lake is still hard to verify, so a first trip makes more sense with one versatile setup with a jig, spinner, and bait rig around one manageable starting zone, staying flexible until I learn something from the first adjustment. I would rather use a small selection of dependable baits around one easy-to-read area near the launch on Lochnevin Lake and wait until I see a pattern develop in the nearby water before changing direction.
A practical first day on Lochnevin Lake starts with one promising area near the launch and one target species; from there I would fix the first weak link in the approach after I get a useful clue from the nearby water. If I get a clear read from the first setup, I would keep working one straightforward piece of water on Lochnevin Lake and treat that as the main lesson from the first visit. If I find a repeatable bite in the first setup, I would keep track of the depth and presentation around one sheltered piece of water so the next trip to Lochnevin Lake starts with a real plan.
