Binns Lake Fishing in Haralson County, Georgia

• Overview

  Binns Lake sits in Haralson County, out in Georgia. The setting is open plain. The water measures roughly 10 acres, so nothing here is far from anything else. By elevation it is in the upper part of our Georgia listings. Buchanan is the closest town at 3.5 miles. Then Bremen, 8.3 miles, and Temple, 9.7 miles. A county boundary sits nearby, which can matter for local access rules.

• Where to Fish on Binns Lake

  Depth is unknown to us, and the shoreline is the better guide. The old creek line under the surface is the feature worth finding. Held water runs deepest at the wall and shallows back to the inflow. Documented catches and surveys in the area cover redbreast sunfish, yellow perch and blacktail redhorse. Use it to know what is possible here, not what is certain. Binns Lake gives up its fish to patience rather than distance.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Average temperature peaks around 77°F in July and bottoms out near 40°F in January. The surface stays open the year round. The first and last hours carry the summer; the middle is slow. March through May is the strongest run, with October and November a second stretch. Binns Lake runs to that rhythm year in and year out.

• Tackle & Baits

  Whether you may fish here is not something records settle. No made access is recorded, so a short walk in is the likely arrangement. For the panfish, a small hook, a float and a piece of worm outfish everything fancy. Take the rules with you rather than trusting memory. Check whether bait restrictions apply before you buy any. If the gate is shut, Lake Olympia at 1.7 miles is the nearest alternative. None of that is settled for Binns Lake in what we hold.
