Treasure Lake near Villa Rica: Fishing Spots, Seasons and Access

• Overview

  Treasure Lake lies in Carroll County, Georgia. The country round it is dry hill from end to end. Surface area runs to roughly 254 acres, so plan for one area rather than the whole. It is among the larger waters listed here for Carroll County. The nearest town is Villa Rica, 6.4 miles away. Then Temple, 9.3 miles, and Carrollton, 9.9 miles. The boundary is close enough to be worth checking before you fish.

• Where to Fish on Treasure Lake

  Nothing in our records gives a depth for this one. Standing timber shows when the level drops, and fish sit against it. Look for where the old bank line still shows under the surface. Public wildlife records from this area list largemouth bass, redbreast sunfish, blackbanded darter, redeye bass and bluegill. Local agencies keep the authoritative list for each water. On Treasure Lake the first feature you find is usually worth a session.

• Seasonal Patterns

  July runs about 78°F on average, January about 41°F. Winter here means light layers, not lost months. March through May is the strongest run, with autumn a second stretch. Late winter often fishes better here than midsummer does. On Treasure Lake that shapes the whole year. Spring warms the shallows first, so start there.

• Tackle & Baits

  Public data does not answer the access question here. A platform or pier sits within half a mile. For the bass here, soft plastics worked slow along cover and a spinnerbait for searching do most of the work. Where access is informal, keep it that way by behaving. Access can change hands, so last year's answer may not hold. Fishing Lake, 1 mile away, makes the obvious fallback. The position on Treasure Lake is worth confirming on the day.
