Days Lake, Georgia: Fishing Spots and Seasons

• Overview

  Days Lake lies in Troup County, in Georgia. The bank gives way to open plain. You can fish the entire water from one spot if you pick it well. Most waters listed here for Troup County are larger. LaGrange at 5 miles is the nearest place to stop. Hogansville is 8 miles away, with Grantville at 14 miles. Others within reach: Hanks Lake 1.6 miles, Newberry Lake at 3 miles, Lake Forest 3.5 miles, Mallory Lake at 3.6 miles and Ridley Lake 3.9 miles. It lies deep inside the county rather than near an edge.

• Where to Fish on Days Lake

  The records we hold are silent on depth, so plan to find it yourself. The productive water is a rod length or two out, not a hundred. Bays and points beat straight shoreline every time on water like this. Records collected within a few miles name blackbanded darter, green sunfish, redbreast sunfish and spotted sunfish. That is what has been logged nearby, not a stocking list, so check local rules before you plan around any one species. Work Days Lake in sections rather than trying to cover it.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Typical July readings run about 79°F; by January the average is down near 43°F. Temperatures stay workable through the cold season. The cooler months are the comfortable ones to be out. Spring and autumn carry the year; summer squeezes it into the ends of the day. Days Lake runs to that rhythm year in and year out.

• Tackle & Baits

  Ownership and access are not documented in what we hold. Mapping shows no built access close by; expect to walk in from wherever you can leave the car. For the pike, wire up and throw larger lures along the weed edges. Parking space is the usual limit rather than the bank itself. Close seasons apply to some species and not others. If the gate is shut, Hanks Lake at 1.6 miles is the nearest alternative. Confirm access to Days Lake locally before you travel.
