Hazerig Lake Fishing Guide, Blount County, Alabama

• Overview

  Look for Hazerig Lake in the Blount County part of Alabama. The surface lies 505 feet up. At roughly 18 acres, the whole thing is within casting reach of a single walk. Supplies mean a trip to Cleveland, 0.8 miles off. After that come Locust Fork at 5.4 miles and Blountsville at 6.9 miles. There is no boundary nearby to worry about.

• Where to Fish on Hazerig Lake

  The records we hold are silent on depth, so plan to find it yourself. Draw-down through summer strips the margins, so follow the water out. The arms fish better than the open middle whenever the water is up. Biodiversity records within roughly six miles include blackfin darter, blackbanded darter and green sunfish. Local agencies keep the authoritative list for each water. At Hazerig Lake the water rewards a slow, careful approach.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Expect July near 79°F and January near 40°F on the long-run figures. It fishes twelve months of the year. The first and last hours carry the summer; the middle is slow. February into May fishes hardest as the water warms. On Hazerig Lake the same rules apply, with local timing. The hour either side of first light is rarely wasted.

• Tackle & Baits

  Nothing we hold confirms whether access is permitted. You will be walking about half a mile from the nearest car park. Bluegill and other panfish take small jigs or worms under a float near any cover. Ask in the nearest town if you are unsure. Close seasons apply to some species and not others. Hazerig Farm Lake at 0.4 miles is the sensible second choice. The position on Hazerig Lake is worth confirming on the day.
