Terra Alta Lake is a reservoir in Fayette County, and on a first trip I would start around one sheltered section of water and stay there until I learn something from the first hour. I would keep the opening plan simple around one short part of the lake and leave it alone until I see a pattern develop in the opening stretch.
A dependable standalone set of acreage, depth, and volume figures is not readily available for Terra Alta Lake, so I would not guess at them until a dependable agency source confirms the number and would work one nearby part of the lake until I see enough in the opening stretch.
The fishery at Terra Alta Lake is lightly documented, so I would use one versatile setup with a jig, spinner, and bait rig around one manageable starting zone and let the first trip stay broad until I learn something from the first adjustment.

I would approach Terra Alta Lake by choosing one promising area near the launch, one target, and a small tackle selection, then 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 nearby water, I would stop searching randomly and fish one straightforward area near the launch properly on Terra Alta Lake. If I find a repeatable bite in the nearby water, I would make a note of what happened around one sheltered area near the launch and use that as the starting point the next time I fish Terra Alta Lake.
