Lost Creek Lake Number 4, Alabama: Fishing Spots and Seasons

• Overview

  Lost Creek Lake Number 4 is set in Cleburne County, Alabama. This is dry hill country. The water measures roughly 15 acres, so nothing here is far from anything else. It is high ground by Alabama standards. The closest town, Bowdon, is 6.7 miles away. It is 40 miles to South Fulton, the nearest city. This one sits near enough to a boundary to be worth checking.

• Where to Fish on Lost Creek Lake Number 4

  No published figure covers depth, so learn it as you fish. Levels move with the draw rather than the rain on water like this. Standing timber shows when the level drops, and fish sit against it. Open occurrence data for the surrounding area lists tallapoosa darter, black madtom and redeye bass. Treat it as evidence of what swims in the area. This water gives up its fish to patience rather than distance.

• Seasonal Patterns

  In an average year July sits at 78°F and January at 41°F. The awkward stretch is midsummer, not midwinter. Heat pushes fish deep from June onwards, so start early. April and May are the settled weeks, with October close behind. Expect this water to follow that timing. Sudden cold puts fish down faster than sustained cold does.

• Tackle & Baits

  Our records carry no access rule either way. No launch point is recorded nearby, so this is a bank water unless you carry a boat in. For the bass here, soft plastics worked slow along cover and a spinnerbait for searching do most of the work. Check locally before you travel, because a wasted drive is a long one. Check whether bait restrictions apply before you buy any. Should this one be busy, Lost Creek Lake Number 3 is 1.2 miles off. Ask locally about this water if anything is unclear.
