• Where to Fish on Little Stone Mountain Creek

  Our records carry no depth, so judge it from the bank. Wading opens water that no bank angler reaches. Slack water behind an obstruction is worth more than open current. Public wildlife records from this area list bluegill, redear sunfish, largemouth bass and black crappie. Reported species tell you what lives around here, nothing more. The shape of Little Stone Mountain Creek rewards a slow walk along one bank.

• Seasonal Patterns

  On the long-term average, July reads 79°F and January reads 42°F. Fish stay active all year, but they move with the heat. Heat pushes fish deep from June onwards, so start early. February into May fishes hardest as the water warms. That is the shape of the year on Little Stone Mountain Creek.
