Fishing at Reubin Lake, Wilcox County, Georgia

• Overview

  Look for Reubin Lake in the Wilcox County part of Georgia. The surface lies 285 feet up. A pocket of water where every cast reaches cover. It is one of the smaller waters we list in Wilcox County. Rochelle lies 9.6 miles from the water. The big place round here is Columbus, 104 miles distant. It sits near the edge of the county, so check which rules apply.

• Where to Fish on Reubin Lake

  There is no published depth for this one, so start shallow and work out. Still water like this holds fish on the edges rather than out in the open. Bays and points beat straight shoreline every time on water like this. Fish reported in the area, according to open records, include bluegill, chain pickerel, dollar sunfish, redfin pickerel and warmouth. Records show what people reported, so treat the list as a guide to what lives in the area. Reubin Lake gives up more to patience than to distance.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Expect July near 81°F and January near 48°F on the long-run figures. Temperatures stay workable through the cold season. March through May is the strongest run, with autumn a second stretch. June to September is hot work, so the first and last hours are what count. Reubin Lake runs to that rhythm year in and year out.

• Tackle & Baits

  Access is not recorded for this water. We find no slipway, car park or made path within a short radius, so treat access as rough. Pike mean a wire trace, no exceptions; big spoons and jerkbaits do the searching. State or provincial rules still apply whatever the bank status. Fishing rules and camping rules are set separately here. Failing this one, try Sink of the Creek, 2.5 miles away. Treat Reubin Lake as unsettled until someone local tells you otherwise.
