  Depth is not on record here, which means reading the ground instead. A reservoir gives you a hard edge, a shelf, and not much else. Levels move with the draw rather than the rain on water like this. Fish documented in Chatham County include redbreast sunfish, bluegill and piedmont darter. The county figures include rivers and lakes alike. Fish B Everett Jordan Lake where the bottom changes rather than where it looks deep.

• Seasonal Patterns

  The range across the year is 40°F to 78°F. Summer heat is the limit here, not winter cold. October and November give a second good stretch as it cools. March through May is the strongest run, with October and November a second stretch. Plan around that when you fish B Everett Jordan Lake.

• Tackle & Baits

  Our records carry no access rule either way. There is a launch about half a mile from the bank. Expect a half a mile walk in from where the car goes. Facilities run to toilets half a mile from the water. Catfish want bait on the bottom: cut bait or worms, a simple running rig, and patience after dark. Parking space is the usual limit rather than the bank itself. Check whether bait restrictions apply before you buy any. King Pond sits 5.8 miles off and takes the overflow. Nothing here settles the position at B Everett Jordan Lake for certain.
