Reservoir 14, Georgia: Fishing Spots and Seasons

• Overview

  Look for Reservoir 14 in the Madison County part of Georgia. It lies 741 feet above sea level. Small at around 14 acres: two anglers spread out cover most of it. Nicholson is the closest town at 3.7 miles. Then Commerce, 7.1 miles, and Country Club Estates, 10 miles. The county edge is within a short distance of the bank. It rewards a look round before the first cast.

• Where to Fish on Reservoir 14

  Depth remains unrecorded, so treat the first session as a survey. Draw-down through summer strips the margins, so follow the water out. The old creek line under the surface is the feature worth finding. Open occurrence data for the surrounding area lists bluegill, largemouth bass, redbreast sunfish and yellow bullhead. The list reflects reported sightings and surveys rather than what is stocked. On this water a short move beats a long cast.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Expect July near 79°F and January near 42°F on the long-run figures. It fishes twelve months of the year. The first and last hours carry the summer; the middle is slow. The cooler months are the comfortable ones to fish here. It holds true on this water more years than not. Fish feed harder before a change in weather than after it.

• Tackle & Baits

  Public data does not answer the access question here. Mapping records no facilities at all near this water. Largemouth respond to soft plastics tight to cover; go weedless where the growth is heavy. Local rules can differ across the county line, so check where you stand. Keep proof of licence with you rather than in the car. Reservoir 12 at 1.2 miles is the sensible second choice. Check the position at this water before loading the car.
