Barnesville Reservoir

Barnesville Reservoir sits in Lamar County and is classified as a reservoir; I would pick one straightforward section of water as the first section and keep fishing it until I get a useful clue from the opening stretch. For the opening part of the day, I would keep working one promising section of water until I see enough in the first area, because moving constantly makes a lake harder to read.

Barnesville Reservoir Size, Maximum Depth and Volume

Barnesville Reservoir does not have a dependable set of published size and depth measurements, so I would wait until an official reservoir report documents the value before trusting a number and stay around one easy-to-read part of the lake until I see enough in the first adjustment.

Fishing This Water

Public fish information tied specifically to Barnesville Reservoir is sparse, so I would start with a basic first-trip selection of small artificials and a bottom rig around one manageable part of the lake and avoid specializing until I get a clear read from the first few casts. The first trip to Barnesville Reservoir is easier to read when the tackle stays simple around one nearby starting zone, at least until I get a clear read from the nearby water.

A Practical Barnesville Reservoir Game Plan

If I were seeing Barnesville Reservoir for the first time, I would work one short starting zone with only a few dependable baits and fix the first weak link in the approach after I get a clear read from the opening stretch. If I learn something from the first area, I would stay around one sheltered starting zone on Barnesville Reservoir and use that clue on the next similar stretch. After I learn something from the first adjustment, I would leave Barnesville Reservoir knowing that one straightforward area near the launch deserves another look before I start searching somewhere else.
