Von Canon Lake is a reservoir in North Carolina, near Moore County.
This Moore County water is recorded as Von Canon Lake, a reservoir, and I would spend the first part of the trip around one short section of water until I find a repeatable bite in the nearby water. On unfamiliar water, I would rather fish one sheltered section of water until I find a repeatable bite in the first hour than make several random moves.
Surface area, maximum depth, and storage are not well documented for Von Canon Lake, so I would keep those values open until an official reservoir report documents the value while I work one straightforward part of the lake until I see a pattern develop in the first setup.
The documented species list for Von Canon Lake includes Black Crappie, Bluegill, Channel Catfish, Largemouth Bass, and Redear Sunfish, which gives me enough options to pick one clear target, start around one promising part of the lake, and keep that plan until I see a pattern develop in the opening stretch. A simple bass setup of one moving lure and one soft plastic is enough around one easy-to-read starting zone on Von Canon Lake, at least until I get a useful answer from the first area.
A practical first day on Von Canon Lake starts with one manageable starting zone and one target species; from there I would fix the first weak link in the approach after I get a useful answer from the first adjustment. If I get a useful clue from the first few casts, I would keep working one nearby area near the launch on Von Canon Lake and treat that as the main lesson from the first visit. If I get a useful clue from the first setup, I would keep track of the depth and presentation around one short area near the launch so the next trip to Von Canon Lake starts with a real plan.
