Cement Lake Fishing Guide, Rockdale County, Georgia

• Overview

  The Rockdale County entry here is Cement Lake, in Georgia. Country round the bank runs to pine and hardwood. It covers about 12 acres, so this is small water you can walk round in under an hour. Lakeview Estates lies 1.9 miles from the water. Then Lithonia, 3.6 miles, and Conyers, 4.7 miles. The boundary is close enough to be worth checking before you fish.

• Where to Fish on Cement Lake

  Our records carry no depth, so judge it from the bank. Standing timber shows when the level drops, and fish sit against it. Draw-down through summer strips the margins, so follow the water out. Species logged nearby in open biodiversity records include bluegill, chain pickerel, redbreast sunfish and striped jumprock. Local agencies hold the definitive list for this water. Fish Cement Lake to its features, not to its size.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Climate records put July near 79°F and January near 42°F. The year never really closes; it just gets uncomfortable in summer. Spring and autumn carry the fishing; summer squeezes it into the edges of the day. The cooler months are the comfortable ones to fish here. That is the shape of the year on Cement Lake.
