Nice Lake is a reservoir in Virginia, near James City County.
Anglers looking at James City County will find Nice Lake, a reservoir; I would give one straightforward section of water a fair chance and resist moving until I see a pattern develop in the first hour. A first trip should leave me with something specific, so I would stay around one sheltered section of water until I get a useful clue from the first hour.
Reliable acreage, maximum depth, and storage figures are hard to verify for Nice Lake, so I would leave those numbers open until a verified bathymetric map supports the measurement and fish one short section of water until I get a clear read from the first hour.
The fish community recorded at Nice Lake includes Bluegill and Largemouth Bass, which makes one clear target a practical way to start around one nearby part of the lake until I see a pattern develop in the opening stretch. For bass on Nice Lake, I would use one moving bait and one bottom-contact bait around one manageable part of the lake, changing only when I get a useful clue from the opening stretch.
My first plan for Nice Lake would be to fish one easy-to-read starting zone deliberately and change one variable at a time only after I get a clear read from the first adjustment. When I find a repeatable bite in the first adjustment, I would stay around one promising starting zone on Nice Lake and build the rest of the trip around that pattern. If I get a useful answer from the nearby water, I would count that as a successful first visit and come back to Nice Lake with one straightforward area near the launch already on the short list.
