Fishing Kimesville Lake in Alamance County, North Carolina

• Overview

  Kimesville Lake lies within the bounds of Alamance County, North Carolina. It stands 584 feet above sea level. It runs to roughly 25 acres — big enough to hold fish away from the bank, small enough to learn. For supplies, Pleasant Hill is 6.1 miles out. The nearest city of size is Greensboro, 16 miles away. A border sits close enough to be relevant to the paperwork.

• Where to Fish on Kimesville Lake

  Depth remains unrecorded, so treat the first session as a survey. Look for the band where the shallows give up and the bottom falls away. Bays and points beat straight shoreline every time on water like this. Open biodiversity records for Alamance County list green sunfish, white sucker, redbreast sunfish and bluegill. Records at this level tell you what is in the area. At Kimesville Lake light and wind decide more than tackle does.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Climate records put July near 78°F and January near 38°F. Winter is a mild inconvenience here, nothing more. Spring and autumn carry the fishing; summer squeezes it into the edges of the day. June to September is hot work, so the first and last hours are what count. On Kimesville Lake the same rules apply, with local timing.

• Tackle & Baits

  Public data does not answer the access question here. Mapping records no facilities at all near this water. For the catfish, fish bottom baits into the deeper holes and let them sit. Some banks are open only from a marked point. Barbless rules turn up on managed water more often than not. Should this one be busy, Richardson Pond is 2.7 miles off.
