Rainbow Lake is a lake in Tennessee, near Wayne County.
In Wayne County, Rainbow Lake is listed as a lake; my opening stop would be one short area near the launch, and I would stay with it until I see enough in the nearby water. The first trip does not have to solve everything, so I would keep fishing one nearby piece of water until I find a repeatable bite in the first setup before I add more distance or tackle.
Exact size and depth measurements are sparse for Rainbow Lake, so I would leave the figures unstated until an official reservoir report documents the value and use one manageable piece of water until I get a useful answer from the first setup.
Species information for Rainbow Lake is limited, so I would use a compact mix of live bait plus one or two simple lures around one easy-to-read section of bank and wait to specialize until I see enough in the first area. I would choose one bait style that fits the target on Rainbow Lake, work it around one promising section of bank, and keep it there until I learn something from the first area.
For a first trip to Rainbow Lake, I would fish one straightforward section of bank long enough to judge the plan, then change depth before changing every bait after I see a pattern develop in the first area. After I get a useful clue from the first few casts, I would give one sheltered shoreline stretch more time on Rainbow Lake instead of immediately looking elsewhere. Once I get a clear read from the first few casts, I would remember what worked around one short shoreline stretch and begin the next trip to Rainbow Lake with that same clue.
