Evans County PFA

Evans County PFA

Evans County Public Fishing Area is a 372-acre area encompassing 3 separate lakes, each offering unique fishing and outdoor opportunities to visitors. Bidd Sands Lake is the largest lake and consists of large expanses of open water and areas with dense lily pads. Bidd Sands offers excellent opportunities for Largemouth Bass, Crappie, Bream and Catfish. Lake Woody is a very “natural” lake with hardwood and cypress trees inhabiting most of its upper portion. Woody not only offers very good fishing, but also offers quality duck hunting during quota hunts with its large area of flooded forest. Lake Longleaf is the smallest of the three lakes. Longleaf is intensively managed for Channel Catfish and is stocked several times each year and maintains an excellent fishery that is easily accessible from a fishing pier or from the bank. In addition to the great fisheries, this PFA is home to a large RV and tent campground, a Commercial-Kitchen Event Center and a Covered Pavilion available through the PFA on-line Reservation Service. There are also nature trails, an archery range and plenty of opportunities for bird/wildlife viewing, making Evans County Public Fishing Area an excellent venue for everyone in the family to enjoy Georgia’s great outdoors.

This PFA also offers opportunities for Quota and Youth waterfowl hunts. Please check the Hunting Regulations for more information.
