Jones Lake

Jones Lake is a reservoir in Floyd County, and on a first trip I would start around one promising area near the launch and stay there until I find a repeatable bite in the opening stretch. I would keep the opening plan simple around one easy-to-read piece of water and leave it alone until I see a pattern develop in the first area.

Jones Lake Size, Maximum Depth and Volume

A dependable standalone set of acreage, depth, and volume figures is not readily available for Jones Lake, so I would not guess at them until a current management document publishes a figure and would work one manageable piece of water until I see a pattern develop in the first adjustment.

Fishing This Water

The fishery at Jones Lake is lightly documented, so I would use a small tackle bag with a few soft plastics and live bait around one nearby section of bank and let the first trip stay broad until I get a useful answer from the first few casts. The best first setup on Jones Lake is a simple one around one short section of bank, and I would leave it alone until I get a useful answer from the first setup.

A Practical Jones Lake Game Plan

I would approach Jones Lake by choosing one sheltered shoreline stretch, one target, and a small tackle selection, then change one variable at a time after I get a useful answer from the opening stretch. If I get a useful clue from the first area, I would stop searching randomly and fish one straightforward shoreline stretch properly on Jones Lake. If I get a useful clue from the first adjustment, I would make a note of what happened around one promising shoreline stretch and use that as the starting point the next time I fish Jones Lake.
