Lake Julianne in Floyd County: How and When to Fish It

• Overview

  Lake Julianne is a Floyd County water, in Georgia. It sits at 650 feet above sea level. Surface area runs to about 9 acres — small enough to read in one session. For supplies, Rome is 5.3 miles out. Lindale lies 8.2 miles off, Shannon another 11 miles. If this one is busy: Lake Tom near enough 0.2 miles, Hicks Lake at 0.7 miles, Lake Conasauga near enough 0.8 miles, Sandy Beach Lake at 1.2 miles and Rice Springs Lake near enough 1.4 miles. Two sets of local rules meet not far from this water.

• Where to Fish on Lake Julianne

  Nothing we hold settles how deep this runs. Read the surface for the wind lane, then fish the edge of it. Weed, then depth: that is the order to fish a water of this kind. Biodiversity records within roughly six miles include largemouth bass, bluegill, redear sunfish and gizzard shad. That is what has been logged nearby, not a stocking list, so check local rules before you plan around any one species. On Lake Julianne that means starting tight and working out.

• Seasonal Patterns

  The seasonal spread runs 40°F to 78°F. Winter is the comfortable season here rather than the difficult one. October and November give a second good stretch as it cools. April and May are the settled weeks, with October close behind. The season on Lake Julianne follows the weather closely.

• Tackle & Baits

  The rules here are undocumented as far as public sources go. No launch point is recorded nearby, so this is a bank water unless you carry a boat in. A small crankbait along the drop and a worm in the thick stuff cover the bass. Where the road in crosses private land, ask first. Close seasons apply to some species and not others. Lake Tom sits 0.2 miles off and takes the overflow. Check the current arrangement for Lake Julianne.
