Reynolds Lake in Coffee County: How and When to Fish It

• Overview

  Reynolds Lake is one of the Coffee County listings for Georgia. Warm bottomland runs right down to the water. It covers about 14 acres, so this is small water you can walk round in under an hour. Broxton lies 4.8 miles from the water. It is 109 miles to Savannah, the nearest city. The nearest edge is a long way off, so local rules apply throughout.

• Where to Fish on Reynolds Lake

  There is no recorded depth, so work from what you can see. Draw-down through summer strips the margins, so follow the water out. Points where the flooded channel swings in are the reliable ones. Species logged nearby in open biodiversity records include brown bullhead, blackbanded darter, bluegill and dollar sunfish. Use it to know what is possible here, not what is certain. Treat Reynolds Lake as a water to read rather than to cover.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Average temperature peaks around 81°F in July and bottoms out near 49°F in January. Cold never shuts this water down; heat is the only limit. Season rules are a separate question. The cooler months are the comfortable ones to be out. Spring and autumn carry the year; summer squeezes it into the ends of the day. It holds true on Reynolds Lake more years than not.

• Tackle & Baits

  Access status is simply unknown for this water. Mapping shows an empty shoreline: no ramp, no jetty, no marked entry. For the bass here, soft plastics worked slow along cover and a spinnerbait for searching do most of the work. Gates get locked out of season on water like this. A polite question at the farm gate opens more banks than anything else. The nearest alternative is Kight Lake, 1 mile out. Nothing here settles the position at Reynolds Lake for certain.
