About us

Jones Lake Management has a history of excellence in fish production and lake management. Robert Lee Jones began managing the Gatliff Fish Hatchery (Williamsburg, KY) more than seventy years ago. In 1949, he set a world record for producing the most fingerling largemouth bass in a one-acre pond. His son, Albert Russell Jones, continued the tradition by serving as a fishery biologist for the Kentucky Department of Fish & Wildlife Resources. He was instrumental in introducing striped bass into Lake Cumberland, rainbow trout into Laurel Lake, and walleye into the Cumberland River above Cumberland Falls. His efforts have made Lake Cumberland one of the most productive freshwater lakes for striped bass in the world. Laurel Lake is one of the best rainbow trout lakes south of the Mason-Dixon line, and the upper Cumberland River is an excellent walleye fishery. His work has led to better fishing for thousands of anglers and advancements in the science of fish production and lake management. Today, the third generation continues to improve the business. Our successful lake management and fish production practices have catapulted us into being one of the fastest growing lake management companies in the United States. We focus on comprehensive pond and lake management to help our clients achieve their goals.

    It's officially summer which means we've suspended fish deliveries until fall and will spend the next couple months focusing on cross training opportunities for our team members. This week's cross training had members of our fish delivery team out on the water for an electrofishing population survey. Electrofishing applies a direct current to the water column to stun fish. Our team collects the stunned fish from the surface with a net to identify, count, weigh and age members of the fish population. Once we're done collecting data, the fish are safely released back into the water. Using standardized techniques and the data collected, we can determine the relative abundance and growth rates of the fish, identify population dynamics and obtain a more accurate view of fish health and the ecosystem as a whole. From there we can develop a custom fish stocking and population management plan. #training #fisheriesmanagement #lakemanagement #largemouthbass #populationdynamics

    Did you know that native plants like pickerelweed are crucial for pollinators? Their vibrant flowers provide food for butterflies, bees, and other essential insects. It's also a biologist favorite in our wetland plant packages because it helps stabilize shorelines, filter incoming water and bind nutrients with its dense root system. 🌱 Pollinator favorite 🌱 Native to most of eastern North America 🌱 Tolerates fluctuating water levels Learn more about our professional services: https://buff.ly/3KRpn40 . #pollinatorweek #wetlandplants #pickerelweed #pondlife #lakelife #nativeplants #nativelandscaping

    Our team has already spotted cyanobacteria in ponds this season. While cyanobacteria naturally occur in ponds and lakes throughout the country, blooms can grow rapidly in warm, nutrient-rich water. The thick, scummy layers are unpleasant to look at, making fishing and swimming unappealing. Plus the potential growth of toxin producing varieties can put the health of people and ecosystems at risk. While managing these blooms can be difficult and discouraging, they can’t just be ignored. Our maintenance plans focus on the health of the whole pond ecosystem and not just treating the symptoms of a problem. We develop the customized strategies to fit your needs and keep your water healthy for years to come.
