Fishing at Green Lake, Carroll County, Georgia

• Overview

  Look for Green Lake in the Carroll County part of Georgia. It sits at 1,030 feet above sea level. Surface area runs to about 7 acres — small enough to read in one session. Most waters listed here for Carroll County are larger. Chattahoochee Hills sits 7.9 miles from here and is the nearest stop. The big place round here is South Fulton, 13 miles distant. The county edge is within a short distance of the bank.

• Where to Fish on Green 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. Documented catches and surveys in the area cover largemouth bass, redbreast sunfish, blackbanded darter, redeye bass and bluegill. Presence in the area does not guarantee a fish on the day. Green Lake fishes better once you know its edges.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Averages move between 42°F in January and 78°F in July. Cold never closes this one. March through May is the strongest run, with autumn a second stretch. Spring and autumn carry the year; summer squeezes it into the ends of the day. Green Lake runs to its own calendar within the local pattern.

• Tackle & Baits

  We hold no note on access for this one. Public data shows nothing built here, so treat the whole approach as informal. Bass water: a Texas-rigged worm near cover, a spinnerbait when you need to cover ground. A landowner's word beats anything printed elsewhere. Barbless rules turn up on managed water more often than not. Strickland Lake sits 3.1 miles off and takes the overflow. What applies at Green Lake may have changed since it was mapped.
