Pattens Pond is a reservoir in Georgia, near Lanier County.
Anglers looking at Lanier County will find Pattens Pond, a reservoir; I would give one promising piece of water a fair chance and resist moving until I get a useful clue from the first area. A first trip should leave me with something specific, so I would stay around one easy-to-read piece of water until I get a useful clue from the first adjustment.
Reliable acreage, maximum depth, and storage figures are hard to verify for Pattens Pond, so I would leave those numbers open until a current management document publishes a figure and fish one manageable piece of water until I see enough in the first few casts.
A reliable fish list for Pattens Pond is difficult to confirm, so I would carry a small tackle bag with a few soft plastics and live bait, fish one nearby section of bank, and leave the target open until I see enough in the nearby water. I would keep the tackle narrow on Pattens Pond, fish one short section of bank, and avoid changing everything until I see enough in the opening stretch.
My first plan for Pattens Pond would be to fish one sheltered shoreline stretch deliberately and change one variable at a time only after I get a clear read from the first area. When I get a clear read from the first adjustment, I would stay around one straightforward shoreline stretch on Pattens Pond and build the rest of the trip around that pattern. If I learn something from the first few casts, I would count that as a successful first visit and come back to Pattens Pond with one easy-to-read section of water already on the short list.
