Callaway Pond Fishing near Metter, Georgia

• Overview

  Callaway Pond is one of the Tattnall County waters in Georgia. The bank is 223 feet above sea level. This is a pocket water of some 14 acres, and every part of it is reachable from the bank. It lies lower than most water we list in Georgia. Nearest place of any size is Metter, 9.9 miles away. After that come Claxton at 12 miles and Reidsville at 12 miles. Being near a boundary, it pays to know which side you are fishing.

• Where to Fish on Callaway Pond

  Depth is not on record here, so the bank has to tell you. Levels move with the draw rather than the rain on water like this. A reservoir gives you a hard edge, a shelf, and not much else. Read Callaway Pond for ten minutes before the first cast goes out. Look for the seam between clear and coloured water.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Averages move between 48°F in January and 81°F in July. Wet and dry spells shape the year more than temperature. 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. Callaway Pond runs to that rhythm year in and year out.

• Tackle & Baits

  Nothing in our records says who may fish here. Access is unmapped, which usually means a farm track and a walk. Parking is often the real limit rather than the bank itself. Where the way in crosses private ground, ask first. The nearest alternative is West Lake, 3.2 miles out. The position on Callaway Pond is worth confirming on the day.
