Reservoir Six Fishing in Banks County, Georgia

• Overview

  Reservoir Six lies in Banks County, in Georgia. Beyond the shoreline you have pine and hardwood. The water covers some 29 acres, so pick a bank rather than trying to cover it all. Size puts it in the front rank of our Banks County list. Start from Baldwin, 3.7 miles down the road. After that come Cornelia at 4.5 miles and Mount Airy at 4.5 miles. This one sits near enough to a boundary to be worth checking.

• Where to Fish on Reservoir Six

  No depth figure appears in our records, so the bank has to tell you. The old creek line under the surface is the feature worth finding. A reservoir gives you a hard edge, a shelf, and not much else. Biodiversity records within roughly six miles include blackbanded darter, bluegill and redbreast sunfish. Treat it as evidence of what swims in the area. Read Reservoir Six for ten minutes before the first cast goes out.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Climate normals give 78°F for July and 41°F for January. Cooler months are the productive ones on most of this water. The cooler months are the comfortable ones to be out. November and March are the quiet, comfortable months to be out. On Reservoir Six that shapes the whole year.

• Tackle & Baits

  No access rule appears in what we hold. We find no slipway, car park or made path within a short radius, so treat access as rough. For the panfish, a small hook, a float and a piece of worm outfish everything fancy. Bank access can be seasonal on ground like this. Barbless rules turn up on managed water more often than not. If the gate is shut, Wise Lake at 0.9 miles is the nearest alternative. Check the position on Reservoir Six before loading the car.
