Easterwood Lake near Temple: Fishing Spots, Seasons and Access

• Overview

  In Georgia, Easterwood Lake belongs to Carroll County. The ground round it is open plain. Small at around 24 acres: two anglers spread out cover most of it. Compared with other Georgia water on our list, it sits high. Temple sits 0.6 miles from here and is the nearest stop. Further out sit Bremen (6 miles) and Villa Rica (7 miles). A border sits close enough to be relevant to the paperwork.

• Where to Fish on Easterwood Lake

  Depth is unmeasured here, so let the shoreline guide you. Built water gives depth close in, which suits a bank angler. Draw-down through summer strips the margins, so follow the water out. Fish reported in the area, according to open records, include blackbanded darter, yellow bullhead, green sunfish and largemouth bass. Treat it as evidence of what swims in the area. Fish Easterwood Lake where the bottom changes rather than where it looks deep.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Averages here run 77°F at the top of summer and 41°F at the bottom of winter. Winter is the comfortable season here rather than the difficult one. Heat pushes fish deep from June onwards, so start early. June to September is hot work, so the first and last hours are what count. That shapes the year on Easterwood Lake.

• Tackle & Baits

  Our records carry no access rule either way. The car has to stay half a mile away, which shapes how much tackle you bring. A small crankbait along the drop and a worm in the thick stuff cover the bass. Check whether a boat is allowed before you tow one. Where tickets apply, they are sold in the nearest town rather than on the bank. Johnsons Lake sits 0.4 miles off and takes the overflow. Treat access at Easterwood Lake as something to verify.
