North Jones Lake

In Floyd County, North Jones Lake is listed as a reservoir; my opening stop would be one sheltered section of bank, and I would stay with it until I get a useful answer from the first hour. The first trip does not have to solve everything, so I would keep fishing one straightforward shoreline stretch until I get a useful clue from the first setup before I add more distance or tackle.

North Jones Lake Size, Maximum Depth and Volume

Exact size and depth measurements are sparse for North Jones Lake, so I would leave the figures unstated until an official lake survey confirms the number and use one promising shoreline stretch until I get a useful clue from the opening stretch.

Fishing This Water

Species information for North Jones Lake is limited, so I would use a compact mix of live bait plus one or two simple lures around one manageable section of water and wait to specialize until I see enough in the first area. I would choose one bait style that fits the target on North Jones Lake, work it around one nearby section of water, and keep it there until I see enough in the first adjustment.

A Practical North Jones Lake Game Plan

For a first trip to North Jones Lake, I would fish one short section of water long enough to judge the plan, then make the simplest change first after I see enough in the first hour. After I get a clear read from the first setup, I would give one sheltered part of the lake more time on North Jones Lake instead of immediately looking elsewhere. Once I get a clear read from the opening stretch, I would remember what worked around one straightforward part of the lake and begin the next trip to North Jones Lake with that same clue.
