Fisher Lake Fishing in Shelby County, Tennessee

• Overview

  Look for Fisher Lake in Shelby County, Tennessee. It lies 344 feet above sea level. At 11 acres it is the sort of place you fish for an evening rather than a day. By elevation it sits in the lower part of our Tennessee listings. Lakeland is the closest place, 2.7 miles off. Cordova follows at 3.2 miles, then Ellendale at 5.5 miles. The nearest boundary is a fair way off.

• Where to Fish on Fisher Lake

  Open data we checked carries no depth for this water. Rip-rap along the wall holds fish that the open bank never does. Look for where the old bank line still shows under the surface. Public occurrence data for Shelby County names bluegill, green sunfish and common carp. The county list is broader than any single water. On Fisher Lake the first feature you find is usually worth a session.

• Seasonal Patterns

  The range across the year is 38°F to 81°F. The surface stays open the year round. Heat pushes fish deep from June onwards, so start early. April and May are the settled weeks, with October close behind. Plan any trip to Fisher Lake around it. Wind direction matters more than wind strength.

• Tackle & Baits

  Public data does not answer the access question here. The closest car park is half a mile away, so pack accordingly. Catfish want bait on the bottom: cut bait or worms, a simple running rig, and patience after dark. Read any posted signs at the access point rather than assuming. Signs go up and come down, so check on the day. For a change of water, Guymon Lake is 2.1 miles distant. None of that is settled for Fisher Lake in what we hold.
