Rigsby Lake near Camilla: Fishing Spots, Seasons and Access

• Overview

  In Georgia, Rigsby Lake falls inside Mitchell County. The land about it is scrub and brush. At 10 acres it is the sort of place you fish for an evening rather than a day. It is a small entry by Mitchell County standards. Camilla lies 6.3 miles from the water. For a city, Tallahassee is 57 miles off. The boundary is near enough that local access rules are worth double-checking.

• Where to Fish on Rigsby Lake

  Nothing we hold settles how deep this runs. Held water runs deepest at the wall and shallows back to the inflow. Inflow corners move water, and moving water gathers fish. Take Rigsby Lake a stretch at a time. Fish the water in front of you before wading further out. Keep your shadow off the water when the bank is high.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Typical July readings run about 81°F; by January the average is down near 49°F. Cold never becomes a factor on this one. Late winter and spring fish steadiest here. Spring and autumn carry the year; summer squeezes it into the ends of the day. The season on Rigsby Lake follows the weather closely.
