Lake Oconee GA Sunrise Reflections...by Reid Callaway
Sugar Creek Morgan County Landscape Art
This is a reflection sunrise looking East down Sugar Creek on Lake Oconee near Buckhead, GA. Enjoy!
Lake Oconee, GA serves as a reservoir for Georgia Power Company's Wallace Hydroelectric Plant. The lake has 374 miles of shoreline with a surface area of 18,971 acres. It is formed by the Oconee and Appalachee Rivers. The lake's height is only 120 feet.
Lake Oconee is one of Georgia's most popular fishing destinations. There is a tremendous quantity of fish in the lake. According to a Georgia Department of Natural Resources sample, there is a standing crop estimated at 355 pounds of fish per acre. That is 250% more than any other lake in the Southeast. Because the lake is a young impoundment, it is still peaking in number of fish per acre. It is considered by fishermen to be the �hottest� and most fertile lake in the state.
Popular game fish on the lake include large mouth, striped, and hybrid bass, black crappie, bream, and channel catfish. Lake Oconee is the only lake in the state where the Department of Natural Resources protects the brood fish of the largemouth bass, restricting harvesting of the species in the 10� to 14� slot. Large mouth bass are the most often sought-after Lake Oconee species, but crappie and other species of bass have a strong following.
When the lake was formed, Georgia Power left 1200 acres of standing or topped timber to provide areas for fish to collect. There are fifty timber areas, averaging four acres each. They are topped at 10� and marked by bouys.
