Great Southeastern Land Fund Lake, Georgia: Fishing Spots and Seasons

• Overview

  Great Southeastern Land Fund Lake lies within the bounds of Cherokee County, Georgia. Beyond the shoreline you have dry hill. It covers about 5 acres, so this is small water you can walk round in under an hour. It is one of the smaller waters we list in Cherokee County. The town to know is Milton, 4.8 miles out. Alpharetta is 6.3 miles and Holly Springs 7.4 miles. The county line runs close by, so rules can change within a short drive.

• Where to Fish on Great Southeastern Land Fund Lake

  No depth figure appears in our records, so the bank has to tell you. Look for where the old bank line still shows under the surface. Built water gives depth close in, which suits a bank angler. Nearby survey and observation records mention bluegill, redbreast sunfish, blackbanded darter, green sunfish and mobile logperch. The records cover the area rather than this water alone. On Great Southeastern Land Fund Lake the quiet end is the one worth the extra effort.

• Seasonal Patterns

  The range across the year is 40°F to 78°F. The hard part of the year is the heat, not the cold. Late winter and spring fish steadiest here. Spring and autumn carry the year; summer squeezes it into the ends of the day. Great Southeastern Land Fund Lake runs to its own calendar within the local pattern.

• Tackle & Baits

  Our records carry no access rule either way. A carry of half a mile from the nearest parking is the price of fishing here. Bluegill and other panfish take small jigs or worms under a float near any cover. Local rules can differ across the county line, so check where you stand. Keep proof of licence with you rather than in the car. Reece Lake, 0.9 miles away, makes the obvious fallback. Confirm access to Great Southeastern Land Fund Lake locally before you travel.
