Memphis Lake is a lake in Tennessee, near Shelby County.
Memphis Lake sits in Shelby County and is classified as a lake; I would pick one short section of bank as the first section and keep fishing it until I see a pattern develop in the first area. For the opening part of the day, I would keep working one nearby section of bank until I see enough in the first area, because moving constantly makes a lake harder to read.
Memphis Lake does not have a dependable set of published size and depth measurements, so I would wait until a current management document publishes a figure before trusting a number and stay around one manageable shoreline stretch until I learn something from the first few casts.
Public fish information tied specifically to Memphis Lake is sparse, so I would start with a simple freshwater kit with worms, small jigs, and one moving bait around one easy-to-read shoreline stretch and avoid specializing until I see a pattern develop in the first few casts. The first trip to Memphis Lake is easier to read when the tackle stays simple around one easy-to-read section of water, at least until I get a useful answer from the first hour.
If I were seeing Memphis Lake for the first time, I would work one promising section of water with only a few dependable baits and make only the changes the first few bites justify after I see enough in the first hour. If I learn something from the first hour, I would stay around one straightforward section of water on Memphis Lake and use that clue on the next similar stretch. After I see a pattern develop in the opening stretch, I would leave Memphis Lake knowing that one sheltered part of the lake deserves another look before I start searching somewhere else.
