Fishing at Chisholm Lake Number One, Albemarle County, Virginia

• Overview

  Albemarle County in Virginia is where Chisholm Lake Number One sits. The ground around here is mixed woodland. The water measures roughly 18 acres, so nothing here is far from anything else.

• Where to Fish on Chisholm Lake Number One

  We hold no depth figure for this one. A reservoir gives you a hard edge, a shelf, and not much else. Inflow corners move water, and moving water gathers fish. County-wide records name bluegill, Roanoke darter, fantail darter, tessellated darter and redbreast sunfish. Those are county-wide records, so not every one of them will be in this water. On Chisholm Lake Number One the quiet end is the one worth the extra effort.

• Seasonal Patterns

  The warmest month averages 76°F, the coldest about 34°F. The year turns gently, without extremes at either end. It is not guaranteed even in a cold spell, so check yourself. Autumn steadies things again once the heat lets go. Chisholm Lake Number One runs to its own calendar within the local pattern.

• Tackle & Baits

  Public data does not answer the access question here. Nothing is mapped in the way of a ramp or car park within a short radius. For the trout, small spinners and a box of nymphs cover both approaches. Rules for this water may differ from the county norm. Close seasons apply to some species and not others. Should this one be busy, Allens Pond is 1.4 miles off. Check the current arrangement for Chisholm Lake Number One.
