| Fishing Info |
The lake's unique long and narrow shape produces noticeable water current throughout
the lake during power generation and pump back. Fish tend to be more active and feed more agressively when water
is moving through the dam.
Angling prospects are compiled by fisheries biologists and are based on sampling efforts of the Georgia Department of Natural Resources (DNR), knowledge of past fishing trends, angling experience and information provided by anglers and marina owners. For more information, contact the Wildlife Resources Division, Social Circle Fisheries 0ffice at 770-918-6418. |
