Lariscy Lake near Sylvania: Fishing Spots, Seasons and Access

• Overview

  This water sits in Screven County, Georgia. The country here is open plain. About 13 acres of surface, which puts the far bank inside easy sight. Our Screven County list holds plenty of bigger water. Supplies mean a trip to Sylvania, 3.9 miles off. Savannah sits 55 miles out, and it is the nearest city worth the name. It sits well inside its county, with no border complications.

• Where to Fish on Lariscy Lake

  Our records carry no depth, so judge it from the bank. The old creek line under the surface is the feature worth finding. Held water runs deepest at the wall and shallows back to the inflow. Documented catches and surveys in the area cover speckled madtom, bluegill, chain pickerel and redbreast sunfish. Records show what people reported, not what is stocked. Fish Lariscy Lake where the bottom changes rather than where it looks deep.

• Seasonal Patterns

  The seasonal spread runs 47°F to 81°F. The surface stays open the year round. March through May is the strongest run, with autumn a second stretch. Autumn steadies things again once the heat lets go. Lariscy Lake runs to that rhythm year in and year out. After heavy rain, give the water a day to settle.

• Tackle & Baits

  Public data does not answer the access question here. Nothing formal is recorded here: no ramp, no car park, no marked path. For the pike, wire up and throw larger lures along the weed edges. Local rules can differ across the county line, so check where you stand. Fishing rules and camping rules are set separately here. The nearest alternative is Bennett Lake, 5 miles out. Confirm access to Lariscy Lake locally before you travel.
