Mountain View Lake is a reservoir in Virginia, near Campbell County.
Mountain View Lake sits in Campbell County and is classified as a reservoir; I would pick one easy-to-read section of water as the first section and keep fishing it until I learn something from the first hour. For the opening part of the day, I would keep working one promising section of water until I see a pattern develop in the first hour, because moving constantly makes a lake harder to read.
Mountain View Lake does not have a dependable set of published size and depth measurements, so I would wait until a verified bathymetric map supports the measurement before trusting a number and stay around one straightforward part of the lake until I get a useful clue from the opening stretch.
Known fish for Mountain View Lake include Bluegill and Largemouth Bass, so I would build the first part of the day around a single target fish at one sheltered part of the lake and avoid switching until I get a clear read from the opening stretch. If bass are present in Mountain View Lake, a spinnerbait plus a Texas-rigged plastic gives a practical combination around one short starting zone; I would change it only when I find a repeatable bite in the first adjustment.
If I were seeing Mountain View Lake for the first time, I would work one nearby starting zone with only a few dependable baits and change one variable at a time after I get a useful clue from the first adjustment. If I get a clear read from the first adjustment, I would stay around one manageable starting zone on Mountain View Lake and use that clue on the next similar stretch. After I find a repeatable bite in the nearby water, I would leave Mountain View Lake knowing that one easy-to-read area near the launch deserves another look before I start searching somewhere else.
