Jones Lake near Lindale: Fishing Spots, Seasons and Access

• Overview

  Jones Lake lies in Floyd County, in Georgia. The surroundings are dry hill. At 15 acres it is the sort of place you fish for an evening rather than a day. Lindale sits 4.6 miles from here and is the nearest stop. The big place round here is South Fulton, 52 miles distant. You are close to a county edge here; who manages the access can change within a short drive.

• Where to Fish on Jones Lake

  Open data we checked carries no depth for this water. The old creek line under the surface is the feature worth finding. Look for where the old bank line still shows under the surface. Nearby survey and observation records mention bluegill, redeye bass and white bass. Reporting is uneven, so absence from the list means little. On Jones Lake a short move beats a long cast.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Seasonal averages run from 40°F in January up to 78°F in July. Winter is the comfortable season here rather than the difficult one. Heat pushes fish deep from June onwards, so start early. Spring and autumn carry the year; summer squeezes it into the ends of the day. Jones Lake runs to that rhythm year in and year out.

• Tackle & Baits

  The rules here are undocumented as far as public sources go. The map shows no ramp or car park nearby, so this is a walk-in water. For the bass here, soft plastics worked slow along cover and a spinnerbait for searching do most of the work. Ask in the nearest town if you are unsure. Access can change hands, so last year's answer may not hold. North Jones Lake at 0.4 miles is the sensible second choice. Check the position on Jones Lake before loading the car.
