Abercrombie Lake Fishing near Forsyth, Georgia

• Overview

  Monroe County, Georgia, is where Abercrombie Lake sits. This is pine and hardwood ground. About 8 acres of surface, which puts the far bank inside easy sight. On size it sits at the modest end of our Monroe County list. For supplies, Forsyth is 11 miles out. The nearest city of size is South Fulton, 62 miles away. This one sits near enough to a boundary to be worth checking.

  Our records hold no depth for this water. Held water runs deepest at the wall and shallows back to the inflow. The old creek line under the surface is the feature worth finding. Fish Abercrombie Lake where the bottom changes rather than where it looks deep. Bright sun pushes fish under whatever cover exists.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Averages here run 80°F at the top of summer and 45°F at the bottom of winter. There is no frozen season to plan round. March through May is the strongest run, with autumn a second stretch. February into May fishes hardest as the water warms. Keep it in mind when planning a trip to Abercrombie Lake.

• Tackle & Baits

  Public sources are silent on who controls the bank. Access is unmapped, which usually means a farm track and a walk. Where a permit is needed, the nearest town usually sells it. Where parking is tight, arriving early solves most problems. For a change of water, Hart Lake is 1.7 miles distant. None of that is settled for Abercrombie Lake in what we hold.
