Reservoir Lake sits in Richmond County and is classified as a reservoir; I would pick one straightforward shoreline stretch as the first section and keep fishing it until I get a useful clue from the opening stretch. For the opening part of the day, I would keep working one promising shoreline stretch until I see enough in the first area, because moving constantly makes a lake harder to read.
Reservoir Lake Size, Maximum Depth and Volume
Reservoir Lake does not have a dependable set of published size and depth measurements, so I would wait until a trustworthy source publishes a defensible number before trusting a number and stay around one manageable section of water until I see enough in the first adjustment.
Fishing This Water
Public fish information tied specifically to Reservoir Lake is sparse, so I would start with a compact mix of live bait plus one or two simple lures around one nearby section of water and avoid specializing until I get a clear read from the first few casts. The first trip to Reservoir Lake is easier to read when the tackle stays simple around one short part of the lake, at least until I get a clear read from the first setup.
A Practical Reservoir Lake Game Plan
If I were seeing Reservoir Lake for the first time, I would work one sheltered part of the lake with only a few dependable baits and make only the changes the first few bites justify after I get a clear read from the opening stretch. If I learn something from the first area, I would stay around one straightforward part of the lake on Reservoir Lake and use that clue on the next similar stretch. After I learn something from the first adjustment, I would leave Reservoir Lake knowing that one promising starting zone deserves another look before I start searching somewhere else.
