Spring Head Lake in Harris County: How and When to Fish It

• Overview

  Out in Harris County, Georgia, sits Spring Head Lake. The bank is 673 feet above sea level. The water measures roughly 14 acres, so nothing here is far from anything else. Hamilton at 10 miles is the nearest place to stop. Beyond it, Columbus at 14 miles and Phenix City at 14 miles. It sits near the edge of the county, so check which rules apply.

• Where to Fish on Spring Head Lake

  No chart reached our records; the first cast is your sounding. A reservoir gives you a hard edge, a shelf, and not much else. Levels move with the draw rather than the rain on water like this. Open occurrence data for the surrounding area lists greater jumprock, yellow bullhead, blackbanded darter and bluegill. Records come from public data, not from a stocking programme. At Spring Head Lake light and wind decide more than tackle does.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Averages move between 45°F in January and 80°F in July. Winter is a mild inconvenience here, nothing more. Shade and hour of day matter more than month. Late winter often fishes better here than midsummer does. Spring Head Lake fishes to that pattern most years. Long daylight spreads the feeding across more hours.

• Tackle & Baits

  We have no record of the rules that apply on this bank. No built facilities appear in mapping around this water. For the pike, wire up and throw larger lures along the weed edges. Where a permit is needed, the nearest town usually sells it. Where the way in crosses private ground, ask first. Lake Olive sits 1.1 miles off and takes the overflow. Nothing here settles the position at Spring Head Lake for certain.
