• Overview

  Set in Ashley County, Arkansas, this is Lake Georgia-Pacific. The setting is dry hill. Surface area runs to roughly 2.4 sq miles, so plan for one area rather than the whole. There is roughly 7.8 miles of bank, more than one visit can cover properly. It is one of the larger waters we list anywhere in Arkansas. West Crossett is the closest place, 6.8 miles off. Little Rock sits 106 miles out, and it is the nearest city worth the name. This one sits near enough to a boundary to be worth checking.

• Where to Fish on Lake Georgia-Pacific

  Depth figures are not published for this one. Levels move with the draw rather than the rain on water like this. Held water runs deepest at the wall and shallows back to the inflow. Records collected within a few miles name mountain madtom and common carp. Presence in the area does not guarantee a fish in this exact water on the day. Lake Georgia-Pacific fishes better once you know its edges.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Average temperature peaks around 81°F in July and bottoms out near 42°F in January. Heat sets the pattern from late spring onward. Late winter and spring fish steadiest here. Autumn steadies things again once the heat lets go. At Lake Georgia-Pacific the season follows that pattern closely.

• Tackle & Baits

  We have no record of the rules that apply on this bank. No built facilities appear in mapping around this water. Carp respond to sweetcorn or boilies fished patiently on the bottom near feeding areas. Sort the permit out before you load the car. Barbless rules turn up on managed water more often than not. Lucas Pond sits 8.8 miles off and takes the overflow. Treat access at Lake Georgia-Pacific as something to verify.
