Clements Lake, Georgia: Fishing Spots and Seasons

• Overview

  Clements Lake is an Irwin County water, in Georgia. Elevation runs to 351 feet. Small at around 12 acres: two anglers spread out cover most of it. Fitzgerald at 7.9 miles is the nearest place to stop. Then Ocilla, 12 miles, and Ashburn, 16 miles. If this one is busy: Land Lake roughly 0.4 miles, Bowen Lake at 0.7 miles, Roberts Lake roughly 1.9 miles, Walker Lake at 2.3 miles and Taylor Lake roughly 2.5 miles. The county line runs close by, so rules can change within a short drive.

• Where to Fish on Clements Lake

  We hold no depth figure for this one. The old creek line under the surface is the feature worth finding. Rip-rap along the wall holds fish that the open bank never does. At Clements Lake light and wind decide more than tackle does. Levels move with the draw rather than the rain on water like this.

• Seasonal Patterns

  The seasonal spread runs 48°F to 81°F. The hard part of the year is the heat, not the cold. The cooler months are the comfortable ones to be out. June to September is hot work, so the first and last hours are what count. At Clements Lake the season follows that pattern closely. Spring fish sit shallower than most people expect.

• Tackle & Baits

  Public sources are silent on who controls the bank. Nothing in the way of made access shows up nearby: no ramp, no car park, no path. Read any posted signs at the access point rather than assuming. Fishing rules and camping rules are set separately here. Failing this one, try Land Lake, 0.4 miles away. Treat access at Clements Lake as something to verify.
