Fishing at Jordans Lakes, Harris County, Georgia

• Overview

  The Harris County end of Georgia holds Jordans Lakes. Everything around it is dry hill. The water measures roughly 5 acres, so nothing here is far from anything else. It is one of the smaller waters we list in Harris County. The closest town, Hamilton, is 9.4 miles distant. Beyond it, Sardis at 14 miles and Pine Mountain at 16 miles. The boundary is near enough that local access rules are worth double-checking.

• Where to Fish on Jordans Lakes

  Depth is not on record here, so the bank has to tell you. Inflow corners move water, and moving water gathers fish. Points where the flooded channel swings in are the reliable ones. Species logged nearby in open biodiversity records include greater jumprock, yellow bullhead, blackbanded darter, bluegill and redbreast sunfish. That is what has been logged nearby, not a stocking list, so check local rules before you plan around any one species. Read Jordans Lakes for ten minutes before the first cast goes out.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Seasonal averages run from 45°F in January up to 80°F in July. The surface stays open the year round. October and November give a second good stretch as it cools. February into May fishes hardest as the water warms. Jordans Lakes fishes to that pattern most years. Overcast days spread the fishing across more hours.

• Tackle & Baits

  Our records carry no access rule either way. Public mapping records no formal access here, so plan for a walk and soft ground. A wire trace and a big bright lure handle the pike; deep water asks for a heavier spoon. A landowner's word beats anything printed elsewhere. Rules for boats are stricter than rules for the bank in many places. Lake Kick-Ann-Rick sits 0.3 miles off and takes the overflow. What applies at Jordans Lakes may have changed since it was mapped.
