Seed Lake is a reservoir in Georgia, near Rabun County.
Stocking records show that the following fish or strains were stocked here. A historical stocking does not by itself prove that a self-sustaining population remains today.
Seed Lake is a small run-of-the-river reservoir below Burton, with walleye fishing that makes it different from a typical southern pond. Bass, perch and shellcrackers give you other options. Its compact size lets you spend time working a short stretch instead of constantly running the boat.
In March, walleye move toward the upper lake below Burton Dam. Fish slowly and close to the rocky bottom, especially in low light. Outside the spawning period, work deeper cover from the public beach area toward Seed Dam. Largemouth favor blowdowns in the middle and upper lake, while spotted bass use lower-lake points and rock.
Use the DNR forecast and current Georgia Power access information to choose the public entry and confirm its facilities. The public beach is a useful lake landmark, but fishing and swimming need their own space. Don't treat private boathouses as public places to land.
A quiet paddle or boat ride suits calmer periods. The lake is part of a working hydropower chain, so changing flow matters near its upper end. Seed, Burton and Rabun are separate reservoirs; a report naming a creek or ramp on one of the others isn't a fishing location on this lake.
