Shivers Lake Number One, Georgia: Fishing Spots and Seasons

• Overview

  In Georgia, Shivers Lake Number One belongs to Warren County. The ground around here is open plain. At about 51 acres, a day is enough to walk the shoreline properly. A shoreline of some 1.3 miles keeps the choices simple. For a base, Firing Range sits 6.5 miles out. The big place round here is Athens, 48 miles distant. Rules can differ a short way off, since the county line is near.

• Where to Fish on Shivers Lake Number One

  There is no recorded depth, so work from what you can see. Held water runs deepest at the wall and shallows back to the inflow. Rip-rap along the wall holds fish that the open bank never does. Species logged nearby in open biodiversity records include christmas darter and green sunfish. Take it as evidence of what swims here, not a promise for one session. Anyone new to Shivers Lake Number One should walk it once before setting up.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Averages here run 79°F at the top of summer and 43°F at the bottom of winter. Warm months push fish deep; cool months bring them back. Late winter and spring fish steadiest here. Spring and autumn carry the year; summer squeezes it into the ends of the day. At Shivers Lake Number One the season follows that pattern closely.

• Tackle & Baits

  Who may fish here is not settled in anything we hold. Nothing built is recorded close to the bank here. Bluegill and other panfish take small jigs or worms under a float near any cover.
