Nichols Lake is a reservoir in North Carolina, near Forsyth County.
Anglers looking at Forsyth County will find Nichols Lake, a reservoir; I would give one promising part of the lake a fair chance and resist moving until I learn something from the first setup. A first trip should leave me with something specific, so I would stay around one easy-to-read part of the lake until I learn something from the opening stretch.
Reliable acreage, maximum depth, and storage figures are hard to verify for Nichols Lake, so I would leave those numbers open until an official reservoir report documents the value and fish one manageable part of the lake until I find a repeatable bite in the first area.
The fish community recorded at Nichols Lake includes Black Crappie, Bluegill, Channel Catfish, Largemouth Bass, and Redear Sunfish, which makes a single target fish a practical way to start around one nearby starting zone until I find a repeatable bite in the first adjustment. For bass on Nichols Lake, I would use one moving bait and one bottom-contact bait around one short starting zone, changing only when I find a repeatable bite in the first hour.
My first plan for Nichols Lake would be to fish one sheltered area near the launch deliberately and change one part of the plan before the rest only after I see a pattern develop in the first setup. When I see a pattern develop in the opening stretch, I would stay around one straightforward area near the launch on Nichols Lake and build the rest of the trip around that pattern. If I get a useful answer from the first area, I would count that as a successful first visit and come back to Nichols Lake with one promising piece of water already on the short list.
