Malone Lake

Malone Lake is a reservoir in Greene County, and on a first trip I would start around one manageable area near the launch and stay there until I get a useful clue from the nearby water. I would keep the opening plan simple around one easy-to-read piece of water and leave it alone until I get a clear read from the first setup.

Malone Lake Size, Maximum Depth and Volume

A dependable standalone set of acreage, depth, and volume figures is not readily available for Malone Lake, so I would not guess at them until a dependable agency source confirms the number and would work one promising piece of water until I find a repeatable bite in the first setup.

Fishing This Water

The fishery at Malone Lake is lightly documented, so I would use one versatile setup with a jig, spinner, and bait rig around one straightforward section of bank and let the first trip stay broad until I get a useful answer from the first area. The best first setup on Malone Lake is a simple one around one sheltered section of bank, and I would leave it alone until I see enough in the first area.

A Practical Malone Lake Game Plan

I would approach Malone Lake by choosing one short shoreline stretch, one target, and a small tackle selection, then fix the first weak link in the approach after I learn something from the first few casts. If I get a useful answer from the first few casts, I would stop searching randomly and fish one nearby shoreline stretch properly on Malone Lake. If I see enough in the first few casts, I would make a note of what happened around one manageable shoreline stretch and use that as the starting point the next time I fish Malone Lake.
