Anglers looking at Surry County will find Reynolds Lake, a reservoir; I would give one straightforward section of bank a fair chance and resist moving until I learn something from the opening stretch. A first trip should leave me with something specific, so I would stay around one promising section of bank until I find a repeatable bite in the first area.
Reynolds Lake Size, Maximum Depth and Volume
Reliable acreage, maximum depth, and storage figures are hard to verify for Reynolds Lake, so I would leave those numbers open until a dependable agency source confirms the number and fish one easy-to-read section of bank until I find a repeatable bite in the first adjustment.
Fish Species and Best Baits
The fish community recorded at Reynolds Lake includes Black Crappie, Bluegill, Channel Catfish, Largemouth Bass, and Redear Sunfish, which makes one primary species a practical way to start around one manageable shoreline stretch until I see a pattern develop in the first few casts. For bass on Reynolds Lake, I would use one moving bait and one bottom-contact bait around one nearby shoreline stretch, changing only when I see a pattern develop in the nearby water.
A Practical Reynolds Lake Game Plan
My first plan for Reynolds Lake would be to fish one sheltered section of water deliberately and make the simplest change first only after I see a pattern develop in the opening stretch. When I get a useful answer from the first area, I would stay around one straightforward section of water on Reynolds Lake and build the rest of the trip around that pattern. If I get a useful answer from the first adjustment, I would count that as a successful first visit and come back to Reynolds Lake with one promising part of the lake already on the short list.
