The closest town, Hampton, is 1.9 miles distant. Atlanta sits 24 miles out, and it is the nearest city worth the name. This one sits near enough to a boundary to be worth checking.

• Where to Fish on Lake Amah Lee

  There is no published depth for this one, so start shallow and work out. The arms fish better than the open middle whenever the water is up. Standing timber shows when the level drops, and fish sit against it. At Lake Amah Lee the water rewards a slow, careful approach. The name is unique in the state, so there is no confusion.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Averages move between 43°F in January and 79°F in July. Temperatures stay workable through the cold season. The first and last hours carry the summer; the middle is slow. The cooler months are the comfortable ones to fish here. Lake Amah Lee fishes to that pattern most years. A grey, mild day is often better than a bright, still one.
