Carmichael Lake is a reservoir in Georgia, near Cherokee County.
Carmichael Lake is a reservoir in Cherokee County, and on a first trip I would start around one straightforward shoreline stretch and stay there until I see enough in the opening stretch. I would keep the opening plan simple around one easy-to-read section of water and leave it alone until I get a clear read from the first area.
A dependable standalone set of acreage, depth, and volume figures is not readily available for Carmichael Lake, so I would not guess at them until a trustworthy source publishes a defensible number and would work one manageable section of water until I get a clear read from the first adjustment.
The fishery at Carmichael Lake is lightly documented, so I would use a basic first-trip selection of small artificials and a bottom rig around one nearby part of the lake and let the first trip stay broad until I learn something from the first few casts. The best first setup on Carmichael Lake is a simple one around one short part of the lake, and I would leave it alone until I learn something from the first setup.
I would approach Carmichael Lake by choosing one sheltered starting zone, one target, and a small tackle selection, then fix the first weak link in the approach after I learn something from the opening stretch. If I find a repeatable bite in the first area, I would stop searching randomly and fish one straightforward starting zone properly on Carmichael Lake. If I find a repeatable bite in the first adjustment, I would make a note of what happened around one promising starting zone and use that as the starting point the next time I fish Carmichael Lake.
