Official stocking history

Stocking records show that the following fish or strains were stocked here. A historical stocking does not by itself prove that a self-sustaining population remains today.

This Escambia County water is recorded as Lake Stone, a reservoir, and I would spend the first part of the trip around one promising part of the lake until I get a useful answer from the first setup. On unfamiliar water, I would rather fish one easy-to-read part of the lake until I get a useful answer from the opening stretch than make several random moves.

Lake Stone Size, Maximum Depth and Volume

Available measurements describe Lake Stone as about 105 surface acres, and those numbers help decide how much ground to cover while I work one manageable starting zone until I get a useful clue from the first area.

Fishing This Water

A dependable species list for Lake Stone is still hard to verify, so a first trip makes more sense with a light spinning setup with a soft plastic and live-bait option around one nearby starting zone, staying flexible until I get a useful clue from the first adjustment. I would rather use a small selection of dependable baits around one short area near the launch on Lake Stone and wait until I get a useful clue from the first hour before changing direction.

A Practical Lake Stone Game Plan

A practical first day on Lake Stone starts with one sheltered area near the launch and one target species; from there I would change one part of the plan before the rest after I see enough in the first setup. If I see enough in the opening stretch, I would keep working one straightforward piece of water on Lake Stone and treat that as the main lesson from the first visit. If I get a clear read from the first area, I would keep track of the depth and presentation around one promising piece of water so the next trip to Lake Stone starts with a real plan.
