Windsor Lake is a reservoir in Virginia, near Roanoke (city) County.
Windsor Lake sits in Roanoke (city) County and is classified as a reservoir; I would pick one promising section of water as the first section and keep fishing it until I find a repeatable bite in the first hour. For the opening part of the day, I would keep working one straightforward section of water until I get a useful answer from the first hour, because moving constantly makes a lake harder to read.
Windsor 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 sheltered part of the lake until I see enough in the opening stretch.
Known fish for Windsor Lake include Bluegill and Largemouth Bass, so I would build the first part of the day around a single target fish at one short part of the lake and avoid switching until I learn something from the opening stretch. If bass are present in Windsor Lake, a spinnerbait plus a Texas-rigged plastic gives a practical combination around one nearby starting zone; I would change it only when I get a useful answer from the first adjustment.
If I were seeing Windsor Lake for the first time, I would work one manageable starting zone with only a few dependable baits and change one variable at a time after I see enough in the first adjustment. If I learn something from the first adjustment, I would stay around one easy-to-read starting zone on Windsor Lake and use that clue on the next similar stretch. After I see a pattern develop in the nearby water, I would leave Windsor Lake knowing that one promising area near the launch deserves another look before I start searching somewhere else.
