Fishing Reservoir Four in Forsyth County, Georgia

• Overview

  Reservoir Four is one of the Forsyth County listings for Georgia. The bank is 1,040 feet above sea level. Surface area runs to about 14 acres — small enough to read in one session. By elevation it is in the upper part of our Georgia listings. Head to Dawsonville, 7.6 miles away, for anything you forgot. For a city, Sandy Springs is 30 miles off. Being near a boundary, it pays to know which side you are fishing.

• Where to Fish on Reservoir Four

  Our records carry no depth, so judge it from the bank. Built water gives depth close in, which suits a bank angler. Inflow corners move water, and moving water gathers fish. Nearby survey and observation records mention banded darter, bluegill, redbreast sunfish and blackbanded darter. Reported species tell you what lives around here, nothing more. The shape of Reservoir Four decides where the fish sit.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Climate records put July near 77°F and January near 40°F. Fish stay active all year, but they move with the heat. Spring and autumn carry the fishing; summer squeezes it into the edges of the day. The hot months push the fishing to dawn and dusk. Plan any trip to Reservoir Four around it.

• Tackle & Baits

  No public source sets out the position on this bank. There is no mapped parking or launch close by, which usually means walking in. For the catfish, fish bottom baits into the deeper holes and let them sit. Some banks are open only from a marked point. Rules for boats are stricter than rules for the bank in many places. Failing this one, try Reservoir Number One, 1.1 miles away. Check the position at Reservoir Four before loading the car.
