Fishing at Walker Lake, Turner County, Georgia

• Overview

  Walker Lake sits within Turner County in Georgia. Land around it is pine and hardwood. Surface area runs to about 9 acres — small enough to read in one session. It is one of the smaller waters we list in Turner County. Ashburn is the closest town at 11 miles. Tallahassee is the closest city, 99 miles away. The boundary is near enough that local access rules are worth double-checking.

• Where to Fish on Walker Lake

  We hold no depth figure for this one. Inflow corners move water, and moving water gathers fish. Rip-rap along the wall holds fish that the open bank never does. At Walker Lake the water rewards a slow, careful approach. Draw-down through summer strips the margins, so follow the water out.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Expect July to average close to 81°F, with January the cold end at about 48°F. Fish stay active all year, but they move with the heat. Late winter and spring fish steadiest here. June to September is hot work, so the first and last hours are what count. Plan around that when you fish Walker Lake.

• Tackle & Baits

  There is no clear statement anywhere on who can fish it. A pier half a mile from here gives a platform over deeper water. A landowner's word beats anything printed elsewhere. Some stretches are reserved and marked as such on the ground. For a change of water, Oneal Wynn Lake is 1.2 miles distant. Check the current arrangement for Walker Lake.
