Soft grey light all day today, with mild air moving in from the NNW and the barometer on the way down. Whatever swims in Floyd Lake should be near the first drop-off and weed lines. A long productive spell runs afternoon into evening. Make the first hour count and build on it. Cooler water spreads fish back across the shallows.

Set in Troup County, Floyd Lake is a Georgia water. Land around it is open plain. At roughly 6 acres, the whole thing is within casting reach of a single walk. Our Troup County list holds plenty of bigger water. Pine Mountain is the closest town at 3.7 miles. It is 30 miles to Columbus, the nearest city. You are close to a county edge here; who manages the access can change within a short drive.
Nothing in our records gives a depth for this one. Draw-down through summer strips the margins, so follow the water out. Standing timber shows when the level drops, and fish sit against it. Public wildlife records from this area list blackbanded darter, bluegill and redbreast sunfish. Treat it as evidence of what swims in the area. Fish Floyd Lake to its features, not to its size.
July is the warm end of the year here, averaging about 79°F, while January sits near 44°F. No part of the year shuts this water. Shade and hour of day matter more than month. March through May is the strongest run, with October and November a second stretch. Plan around that when you fish Floyd Lake.
We hold no note on access for this one. No built facilities appear in mapping around this water. Catfish want bait on the bottom: cut bait or worms, a simple running rig, and patience after dark. Parking space is the usual limit rather than the bank itself. Where tickets apply, they are sold in the nearest town rather than on the bank. Failing this one, try Livingston Lake, 0.9 miles away. For Floyd Lake in particular, ask before you travel.
