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