Foster Lake near Temple: Fishing Spots, Seasons and Access

• Overview

  The Haralson County end of Georgia holds Foster Lake. The bank is 1,178 feet above sea level. At roughly 15 acres, the whole thing is within casting reach of a single walk. By elevation it is in the upper part of our Georgia listings. 5.2 miles away sits Temple, the nearest town. Buchanan is 7.3 miles and Bremen 7.7 miles. The boundary is near enough that local access rules are worth double-checking.

• Where to Fish on Foster Lake

  Depth is unknown to us, and the shoreline is the better guide. Built water gives depth close in, which suits a bank angler. Inflow corners move water, and moving water gathers fish. Documented catches and surveys in the area cover redbreast sunfish, yellow perch, blacktail redhorse, bluegill and green sunfish. Records show what people reported, not what is stocked. Fish Foster Lake to its features, not to its size.

• Seasonal Patterns

  The year swings from about 40°F in January to roughly 77°F in July. The hard part of the year is the heat, not the cold. Shade and hour of day matter more than month. The hot months push the fishing to dawn and dusk. Plan around that when you fish Foster Lake. Warm spells bring fish up, cold snaps push them down.

• Tackle & Baits

  Access status is simply unknown for this water. No slipway, car park or made path shows up nearby in mapping, so treat access as rough. For the panfish, a small hook, a float and a piece of worm outfish everything fancy. Season dates differ by species, so read the table. Night access is frequently treated as a separate matter. Lake Violet sits 1.7 miles off and takes the overflow. Confirm access to Foster Lake locally before you travel.
