Tanyard Springs Lake, Tennessee: Fishing Spots and Seasons

You are close to a county edge here; who manages the access can change within a short drive.

• Where to Fish on Tanyard Springs Lake

  We hold no depth figure for this one. The old creek line under the surface is the feature worth finding. A reservoir gives you a hard edge, a shelf, and not much else. Fish documented in McNairy County include green sunfish, dollar sunfish and warmouth. Records at county level tell you what is around, not what is stocked here. Tanyard Springs Lake gives up its fish to patience rather than distance.

• Seasonal Patterns

  The seasonal spread runs 38°F to 79°F. Summer heat is the limit here, not winter cold. The cooler months are the comfortable ones to be out. Spring and autumn carry the year; summer squeezes it into the ends of the day. Time your trip to Tanyard Springs Lake by conditions rather than dates.

• Tackle & Baits

  No public source sets out the position on this bank. There is no mapped parking or launch nearby, which keeps numbers down. For the panfish, a small hook, a float and a piece of worm outfish everything fancy. Gates get locked out of season on water like this. Access can change hands, so last year's answer may not hold. Timberline Estates Lake, 10 miles away, makes the obvious fallback. Confirm before you fish Tanyard Springs Lake.
