  Depth is unmeasured here, so let the shoreline guide you. A reservoir gives you a hard edge, a shelf, and not much else. Points where the flooded channel swings in are the reliable ones. Records collected within a few miles name christmas darter, blackbanded darter and johnny darter. That is what has been logged nearby, not a stocking list, so check local rules before you plan around any one species. Take University of Georgia Farm Lake a stretch at a time.

• Seasonal Patterns

  The year swings from about 43°F in January to roughly 80°F in July. The hard part of the year is the heat, not the cold. Heat pushes fish deep from June onwards, so start early. June to September is hot work, so the first and last hours are what count. The season on University of Georgia Farm Lake rarely departs from it.

• Tackle & Baits

  Our records carry no access rule either way. We find no slipway, car park or made path within a short radius, so treat access as rough. Pike mean a wire trace, no exceptions; big spoons and jerkbaits do the searching. State or provincial rules still apply whatever the bank status. Night access is frequently treated as a separate matter. For a change of water, Johnson Pond is 9.8 miles distant. For University of Georgia Farm Lake, the notice at the access point is the final word.
