Fishing Yawn Pond in Dodge County, Georgia

• Overview

  Yawn Pond is set in Dodge County, Georgia. The water sits 361 feet up. Small at around 10 acres: two anglers spread out cover most of it. Most waters listed here for Dodge County are larger. Cochran lies 6.6 miles from the water. Beyond it, Chester at 9.4 miles and Eastman at 10 miles. A county boundary sits nearby, which can matter for local access rules.

• Where to Fish on Yawn Pond

  No depth figure appears in our records, so the bank has to tell you. The old creek line under the surface is the feature worth finding. The arms fish better than the open middle whenever the water is up. At Yawn Pond the water rewards a slow, careful approach. Rip-rap along the wall holds fish that the open bank never does.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Between January at about 47°F and July at about 81°F, the water has a wide range to work through. The awkward stretch is midsummer, not midwinter. The first and last hours carry the summer; the middle is slow. The cooler months are the comfortable ones to fish here. That is the shape of the year on Yawn Pond.

• Tackle & Baits

  Whether the bank is open is not something our records settle. Nothing is listed nearby for parking or launching a boat. Parking is often the real limit rather than the bank itself. Fishing rules and camping rules are set separately here. Milton Tripp Lake sits 3.5 miles off and takes the overflow. For Yawn Pond in particular, ask before you travel.
