Fishing Courson Pond in Treutlen County, Georgia

Within a short drive: Wildwood Lake 2.2 miles away, Price Pond within 4 miles, Smith Lake 5.1 miles away, Sumner Pond within 5.2 miles and Sand Hill Lake 5.5 miles away.

• Where to Fish on Courson Pond

  Depth is not on record here, so the bank has to tell you. Inflow corners move water, and moving water gathers fish. Draw-down through summer strips the margins, so follow the water out. Courson Pond gives up more to patience than to distance. The wettest month is August in a year that averages 45 inches.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Long-term averages put July at about 81°F and January near 47°F. Cooler months are the productive ones on most of this water. October and November give a second good stretch as it cools. The cooler months are the comfortable ones to fish here. Plan around that when you fish Courson Pond.

• Tackle & Baits

  Whether the bank is open is not something our records settle. Formal access is not mapped, so the last stretch is likely on foot. Sort the permit out before you load the car. Check whether bait restrictions apply before you buy any. Wildwood Lake, 2.2 miles away, makes the obvious fallback. Nothing here settles the position at Courson Pond for certain.
