Teasley Lake, Georgia: Fishing Spots and Seasons

• Overview

  Look for Teasley Lake in Stephens County, Georgia. It lies 771 feet above sea level. It covers about 21 acres, so this is small water you can walk round in under an hour. Around 1.0 miles of margin, front to back. Size puts it in the front rank of our Stephens County list. Toccoa is the closest town at 6.4 miles. Mount Airy follows at 11 miles, then Lavonia at 12 miles. Two sets of local rules meet not far from this water.

• Where to Fish on Teasley Lake

  Depth remains unrecorded, so treat the first session as a survey. Standing timber shows when the level drops, and fish sit against it. Look for where the old bank line still shows under the surface. Nearby survey and observation records mention green sunfish, redbreast sunfish, bluehead chub and creek chub. The list reflects reported sightings and surveys rather than what is stocked. The shape of Teasley Lake decides where the fish sit.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Expect July near 78°F and January near 41°F on the long-run figures. Winter here means light layers, not lost months. Shade and hour of day matter more than month. Spring and autumn carry the year; summer squeezes it into the ends of the day. On Teasley Lake that shapes the whole year.

• Tackle & Baits

  Who may fish here is not settled in anything we hold. Access points are not mapped for this water, which suits people who like quiet. Bluegill and other panfish take small jigs or worms under a float near any cover. Take the rules with you rather than trusting memory. Fishing rules and camping rules are set separately here. The nearest alternative is Pruitt Lake, 1.5 miles out. Signs at Teasley Lake carry more weight than any list.
