Butlers Pond in Randolph County: How and When to Fish It

• Overview

  Butlers Pond is one of the Randolph County listings for Georgia. Country round the bank runs to dry hill. The water measures roughly 10 acres, so nothing here is far from anything else. Cuthbert is the closest town at 6.6 miles. Further out sit Lumpkin (13 miles) and Richland (17 miles). One jurisdiction covers this water end to end.

• Where to Fish on Butlers Pond

  Our records hold no depth for this water. Rip-rap along the wall holds fish that the open bank never does. The arms fish better than the open middle whenever the water is up. Biodiversity records within roughly six miles include blackbanded darter, redbreast sunfish, spotted sunfish and warmouth. Presence in the area does not guarantee a fish in this exact water on the day. The shape of Butlers Pond decides where the fish sit.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Between January at about 47°F and July at about 80°F, the water has a wide range to work through. Cooler months are the productive ones on most of this water. Late winter and spring fish steadiest here. Late winter often fishes better here than midsummer does. That is the shape of the year on Butlers Pond.

• Tackle & Baits

  Nothing we hold confirms whether access is permitted. Public data shows nothing built here, so treat the whole approach as informal. Bass water: a Texas-rigged worm near cover, a spinnerbait when you need to cover ground. Some banks are open only from a marked point. Barbless rules turn up on managed water more often than not. English Lake sits 2.5 miles off and takes the overflow. Signs at Butlers Pond carry more weight than any list.
