Fortner Pond is a reservoir in Georgia, near Johnson County.
Anglers looking at Johnson County will find Fortner Pond, a reservoir; I would give one nearby section of bank a fair chance and resist moving until I learn something from the first setup. A first trip should leave me with something specific, so I would stay around one short section of bank until I learn something from the first adjustment.
Reliable acreage, maximum depth, and storage figures are hard to verify for Fortner Pond, so I would leave those numbers open until a dependable agency source confirms the number and fish one sheltered section of bank until I find a repeatable bite in the first few casts.
A reliable fish list for Fortner Pond is difficult to confirm, so I would carry one light rod with a jig, worm, and float, fish one straightforward shoreline stretch, and leave the target open until I find a repeatable bite in the nearby water. I would keep the tackle narrow on Fortner Pond, fish one promising shoreline stretch, and avoid changing everything until I find a repeatable bite in the first hour.
My first plan for Fortner Pond would be to fish one manageable section of water deliberately and make the simplest change first only after I see a pattern develop in the first setup. When I see a pattern develop in the opening stretch, I would stay around one nearby section of water on Fortner Pond and build the rest of the trip around that pattern. If I get a useful answer from the first few casts, I would count that as a successful first visit and come back to Fortner Pond with one short part of the lake already on the short list.
