Updegrove Lake sits in Floyd County and is classified as a reservoir; I would pick one nearby shoreline stretch as the first section and keep fishing it until I get a clear read from the nearby water. For the opening part of the day, I would keep working one short shoreline stretch until I get a clear read from the opening stretch, because moving constantly makes a lake harder to read.
Updegrove Lake Size, Maximum Depth and Volume
Updegrove 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 straightforward section of water until I learn something from the first area.
Fishing This Water
Public fish information tied specifically to Updegrove Lake is sparse, so I would start with a compact mix of live bait plus one or two simple lures around one promising section of water and avoid specializing until I learn something from the first adjustment. The first trip to Updegrove Lake is easier to read when the tackle stays simple around one easy-to-read part of the lake, at least until I find a repeatable bite in the first few casts.
A Practical Updegrove Lake Game Plan
If I were seeing Updegrove Lake for the first time, I would work one manageable part of the lake with only a few dependable baits and make only the changes the first few bites justify after I find a repeatable bite in the nearby water. If I find a repeatable bite in the first hour, I would stay around one nearby part of the lake on Updegrove Lake and use that clue on the next similar stretch. After I see a pattern develop in the first area, I would leave Updegrove Lake knowing that one short starting zone deserves another look before I start searching somewhere else.
