• Where to Fish on G Johnson Lake

  Depth remains unrecorded, so treat the first session as a survey. Points where the flooded channel swings in are the reliable ones. The old creek line under the surface is the feature worth finding. Survey and observation records for Spartanburg County include bluegill, redbreast sunfish, seagreen darter, striped jumprock and flat bullhead. These are county-wide records, so not all of them will be in this water. G Johnson Lake gives up its fish to patience rather than distance.

• Tackle & Baits

  Nothing in our records says who may fish here. A parking area is marked roughly half a mile out. A small crankbait along the drop and a worm in the thick stuff cover the bass. Local rules can differ across the county line, so check where you stand. Where parking is tight, arriving early solves most problems. Failing this one, try Lyles Brothers Lake, 1.7 miles away.
