Lake Oconee is a 19,000-acre reservoir spanning Greene, Hancock, Morgan, and Putnam Counties in central Georgia. Created by the Wallace Dam on the Oconee River, this expansive lake features 374 miles of shoreline and offers diverse fishing opportunities year-round. The lake's varied structure—from the upper riverine sections to the lower lacustrine areas near the dam—provides habitat for an impressive array of game fish species. As a pump-storage reservoir connected to neighboring Lake Sinclair, Oconee maintains relatively stable water levels, typically fluctuating only a foot or two during pump-back operations. This stability, combined with abundant structure including docks, brush piles, downed timber, long points, humps, and rocky areas, creates excellent fishing conditions throughout the year.
