Lake Tom-A-Lex is a reservoir in North Carolina, near Davidson County.
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.
Anglers looking at Davidson County will find Lake Thom-A-Lex, a reservoir; I would give one short starting zone a fair chance and resist moving until I get a clear read from the first adjustment. A first trip should leave me with something specific, so I would stay around one sheltered starting zone until I learn something from the first few casts.
Published figures put Lake Thom-A-Lex at about 650 surface acres and 11,180 acre-feet of storage, or roughly 3.6 billion gallons, so I would use those numbers to decide how much ground to cover while I fish one straightforward starting zone until I learn something from the nearby water.
The fish community recorded at Lake Thom-A-Lex includes Black Crappie, Bluegill, Channel Catfish, Largemouth Bass, and Redear Sunfish, which makes one first-choice species a practical way to start around one promising area near the launch until I learn something from the first hour. For bass on Lake Thom-A-Lex, I would use one moving bait and one bottom-contact bait around one easy-to-read area near the launch, changing only when I find a repeatable bite in the first setup.
My first plan for Lake Thom-A-Lex would be to fish one manageable piece of water deliberately and change location before rebuilding the tackle plan only after I find a repeatable bite in the opening stretch. When I see a pattern develop in the first area, I would stay around one nearby piece of water on Lake Thom-A-Lex and build the rest of the trip around that pattern. If I see a pattern develop in the nearby water, I would count that as a successful first visit and come back to Lake Thom-A-Lex with one short section of bank already on the short list.
