Fishing Stevens Lake in Coweta County, Georgia

• Overview

  Out in Coweta County, Georgia, sits Stevens Lake. It stands 837 feet above sea level. Surface area runs to about 8 acres — small enough to read in one session. Head to East Newnan, 4.8 miles away, for anything you forgot. Grantville is 6.6 miles away, with Newnan at 7.3 miles. The boundary is near enough that local access rules are worth double-checking.

• Where to Fish on Stevens Lake

  There is no published depth for this one, so start shallow and work out. Rip-rap along the wall holds fish that the open bank never does. Inflow corners move water, and moving water gathers fish. Records collected within a few miles name bluegill, gulf darter, redbreast sunfish, speckled madtom and blacktail shiner. Treat it as evidence of what swims in the area. Anyone new to Stevens Lake should walk it once before setting up.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Climate normals give 78°F for July and 43°F for January. The surface stays open the year round. Shade and hour of day matter more than month. Spring and autumn carry the year; summer squeezes it into the ends of the day. At Stevens Lake the season follows that pattern closely. Wind direction changes which bank is worth fishing.

• Tackle & Baits

  Nothing on record says whether the bank is open or closed. No slipway, car park or made path shows up nearby in mapping, so treat access as rough. Bluegill and other panfish take small jigs or worms under a float near any cover. Where a permit is needed, the nearest town usually sells it. Access can change hands, so last year's answer may not hold. Whites Pond at 1.2 miles is the sensible second choice. Check the position on Stevens Lake before loading the car.
