Reservoir Four, Georgia: Fishing Spots and Seasons

• Overview

  Reservoir Four is one of the Franklin County waters in Georgia. The surroundings are dry hill. At 9 acres it is the sort of place you fish for an evening rather than a day. Start from Lavonia, 6.1 miles down the road. After that come Gumlog at 8.6 miles and Franklin Springs at 9.3 miles. The county edge is within a short distance of the bank.

• Where to Fish on Reservoir Four

  Depth is unmeasured here, so let the shoreline guide you. Draw-down through summer strips the margins, so follow the water out. Held water runs deepest at the wall and shallows back to the inflow. On Reservoir Four that means starting tight and working out. Note where you had the first touch and work back over it.

• Seasonal Patterns

  The year swings from about 41°F in January to roughly 79°F in July. Temperatures stay workable through the cold season. Spring and autumn carry the fishing; summer squeezes it into the edges of the day. June to September is hot work, so the first and last hours are what count. Anyone fishing Reservoir Four regularly works to that calendar.
