Logan Lake Fishing Guide, Gilmer County, Georgia

• Overview

  Logan Lake lies in Gilmer County, Georgia. The bank is 1,473 feet above sea level. About 8 acres of surface, which puts the far bank inside easy sight. It sits higher than most water we list in Georgia. Ellijay lies 1.7 miles from the water. It is 52 miles to East Chattanooga, the nearest city. No county line comes close, which keeps the paperwork simple.

• Where to Fish on Logan Lake

  Depth here is unknown, so count the lead down before committing. Standing timber shows when the level drops, and fish sit against it. Draw-down through summer strips the margins, so follow the water out. Fish documented in Gilmer County include bluegill, spotted bass, gizzard shad and channel catfish. What holds for the county may not hold for this water. Fish Logan Lake where the bottom changes rather than where it looks deep.

• Seasonal Patterns

  The year swings from about 38°F in January to roughly 75°F in July. Long warm spells define the calendar more than any cold. October and November give a second good stretch as it cools. Late winter often fishes better here than midsummer does. The season on Logan Lake follows the weather closely.

• Tackle & Baits

  The paperwork position is blank for this one. Public mapping records no formal access here, so plan for a walk and soft ground. A small crankbait along the drop and a worm in the thick stuff cover the bass. Check whether a boat is allowed before you tow one. Keep proof of licence with you rather than in the car. Turniptown Lake sits 2.1 miles off and takes the overflow. What applies at Logan Lake may have changed since it was mapped.
