• Where to Fish on Jones Lake Number Two

  The records we hold are silent on depth, so plan to find it yourself. Held water runs deepest at the wall and shallows back to the inflow. The arms fish better than the open middle whenever the water is up. Species logged nearby in open biodiversity records include bluegill, dollar sunfish and largemouth bass. That is what has been logged nearby, not a stocking list, so check local rules before you plan around any one species. On Jones Lake Number Two that means starting tight and working out.

  July runs about 81°F on average, January about 48°F. Heat, not cold, shapes the year here. Spring and autumn carry the fishing; summer squeezes it into the edges of the day. Late winter often fishes better here than midsummer does. Plan any trip to Jones Lake Number Two around it.
