Reservoir 14 Fishing near Firing Range, Georgia

• Overview

  Look for Reservoir 14 in Warren County, Georgia. The ground round it is open plain. At 18 acres it is the sort of place you fish for an evening rather than a day. Nearest place of any size is Firing Range, 1.4 miles away. After that come West Warrenton at 2.1 miles and Warrenton at 3 miles. Being near a boundary, it pays to know which side you are fishing.

• Where to Fish on Reservoir 14

  There is no recorded depth, so work from what you can see. A reservoir gives you a hard edge, a shelf, and not much else. Draw-down through summer strips the margins, so follow the water out. At this water the first feature you find is worth twenty minutes. Work slowly along one feature rather than covering ground.

• Seasonal Patterns

  July is the warm end of the year here, averaging about 80°F, while January sits near 43°F. The awkward stretch is midsummer, not midwinter. The cooler months are the comfortable ones to be out. February into May fishes hardest as the water warms. Keep it in mind when planning a trip to this water.

• Tackle & Baits

  There is no clear statement anywhere on who can fish it. No launch point is recorded nearby, so this is a bank water unless you carry a boat in. Look for a notice board at the entrance. Where the way in crosses private ground, ask first. Should this one be busy, English Lake is 1.3 miles off. Nothing on this water should be assumed from this page alone.
