Fishing at Lake Myrtice, Early County, Georgia

• Overview

  Lake Myrtice stands in Early County, Georgia. Elevation runs to 269 feet. At about 30 acres, a day is enough to walk the shoreline properly. Blakely is the closest place, 1.7 miles off.

Within a short run: Lake Louise 0.6 miles away, Singletary Lake (0.9 miles), Lake Yohola 4.5 miles away, Lake Kolomoki (4.5 miles) and Bridges Lake 6 miles away. No boundary runs near, so the county rules hold throughout.

• Where to Fish on Lake Myrtice

  Depth is unknown to us, and the shoreline is the better guide. Standing timber shows when the level drops, and fish sit against it. Rip-rap along the wall holds fish that the open bank never does. Species logged nearby in open biodiversity records include spotted sunfish, brown darter and dollar sunfish. The records cover the area rather than this water alone. At Lake Myrtice the water rewards a slow, careful approach.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Expect July near 81°F and January near 48°F on the long-run figures. The hard part of the year is the heat, not the cold. The cooler months are the comfortable ones to be out. March through May is the strongest run, with October and November a second stretch. Keep it in mind when planning a trip to Lake Myrtice.

• Tackle & Baits

  Public data does not answer the access question here. No made access is recorded, so a short walk in is the likely arrangement. A small crankbait along the drop and a worm in the thick stuff cover the bass. Check locally before you travel, because a wasted drive is a long one. Night access is frequently treated as a separate matter. Lake Louise, 0.6 miles away, makes the obvious fallback. Check the position at Lake Myrtice before loading the car.
