Fishing at Robin Lake, Harris County, Georgia

• Overview

  The Harris County end of Georgia holds Robin Lake. This is open plain country. The water covers some 45 acres, so pick a bank rather than trying to cover it all. With about 1.3 miles of edge, you can try several depths in one session. It ranks high for size among our Harris County listings. You are 1.6 miles from Pine Mountain. Further out sit Hamilton (6 miles) and Sardis (13 miles). A border sits close enough to be relevant to the paperwork.

• Where to Fish on Robin Lake

  Depth figures are not published for this one. The old creek line under the surface is the feature worth finding. Points where the flooded channel swings in are the reliable ones. Public wildlife records from this area list blackbanded darter, bluegill, greater jumprock, brown bullhead and speckled madtom. The records cover the area rather than this water alone. At Robin Lake the water rewards a slow, careful approach.

• Seasonal Patterns

  On the long-term average, July reads 79°F and January reads 44°F. Cooler months are the productive ones on most of this water. The first and last hours carry the summer; the middle is slow. March through May is the strongest run, with October and November a second stretch. Anyone fishing Robin Lake regularly works to that calendar.
