Yarbrough Pond near Claxton: Fishing Spots, Seasons and Access

• Overview

  Yarbrough Pond is an Evans County water, in Georgia. Elevation runs to 144 feet. Small at around 12 acres: two anglers spread out cover most of it. It lies lower than most water we list in Georgia. The closest town, Claxton, is 6.3 miles away. Metter lies 12 miles off, Reidsville another 13 miles. A county line runs close by, so local bylaws can differ within a short drive.

• Where to Fish on Yarbrough Pond

  No depth figure appears in our records, so the bank has to tell you. Held water runs deepest at the wall and shallows back to the inflow. Levels move with the draw rather than the rain on water like this. Yarbrough Pond repays a walk before the first cast. Yearly totals run near 47 inches, with November the driest stretch.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Between January at about 49°F and July at about 82°F, the water has a wide range to work through. Cold never shuts this water down; heat is the only limit. Season rules are a separate question. March through May is the strongest run, with autumn a second stretch. June to September is hot work, so the first and last hours are what count. That shapes the year on Yarbrough Pond.

• Tackle & Baits

  Nothing we hold confirms whether access is permitted. There is no recorded infrastructure here; expect to find your own way in. Where the road in crosses private land, ask first. Where parking is tight, arriving early solves most problems. Rogers Lake at 3.2 miles is the sensible second choice. Treat Yarbrough Pond as unsettled until someone local tells you otherwise.
