Fish species in Seed Lake

Official stocking history

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 reservoir in Rabun County, and on a first trip I would start around one short section of bank and stay there until I see enough in the first area. I would keep the opening plan simple around one sheltered shoreline stretch and leave it alone until I see enough in the first adjustment.

Seed Lake Size, Maximum Depth and Volume

The useful physical figures for Seed Lake are about 260 surface acres and 8,250 acre-feet of storage, or roughly 2.7 billion gallons, giving me enough scale to decide how much water to cover while I work one straightforward shoreline stretch until I get a clear read from the first few casts.

Fish Species and Best Baits

For anglers, the useful species information for Seed Lake includes Alabama Bass, Black Crappie, Blue Catfish, Blueback Herring, Bluegill, Brook Silverside, Brown Trout, Channel Catfish, Common Carp, Emerald Shiner, Flathead Catfish, and Freshwater Drum, plus 23 additional recorded species, so I would start with the species I most want around one easy-to-read section of water and let it run until I get a clear read from the nearby water. Bass anglers on Seed Lake can start with a shallow crankbait or spinnerbait around one manageable section of water, then switch to a worm or jig when I get a clear read from the first hour.

A Practical Seed Lake Game Plan

I would approach Seed Lake by choosing one nearby part of the lake, one target, and a small tackle selection, then make only the changes the first few bites justify after I learn something from the first setup. If I learn something from the first adjustment, I would stop searching randomly and fish one short part of the lake properly on Seed Lake. If I find a repeatable bite in the first few casts, I would make a note of what happened around one sheltered part of the lake and use that as the starting point the next time I fish Seed Lake.
