Cherokee Lake Fishing in Coffee County, Georgia

• Overview

  Look for Cherokee Lake in the Coffee County part of Georgia. This is open low country country. About 3 acres of surface, which puts the far bank inside easy sight. It is a small entry by Coffee County standards. Head to Broxton, 9.8 miles away, for anything you forgot. For a city, Savannah is 111 miles off. Local rules may differ a few miles either side of here.

• Where to Fish on Cherokee Lake

  Nothing in our records gives a depth for this one. Held water runs deepest at the wall and shallows back to the inflow. Look for where the old bank line still shows under the surface. Biodiversity records within roughly six miles include chain pickerel, bluegill, redfin pickerel and swamp darter. The list reflects reported sightings and surveys rather than what is stocked. The near bank of Cherokee Lake is often the one people ignore.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Climate normals give 81°F for July and 49°F for January. Summer is the season to work around, not winter. 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. At Cherokee Lake the season follows that pattern closely.

• Tackle & Baits

  Access status is simply unknown for this water. Access is unmapped, which usually means a farm track and a walk. A wire trace and a big bright lure handle the pike; deep water asks for a heavier spoon. A phone call first saves an afternoon. Access can change hands, so last year's answer may not hold. The nearest alternative is Joyce Lake, 1.9 miles out. Nothing on Cherokee Lake should be assumed from this page alone.
