TROUT FISHING IN GEORGIA

Georgia's approximately 4,000 miles of trout streams are relatively unproductive when compared to streams found in other parts of the country. This is, in part, due to the calcium deficient soils found in north Georgia. Therefore, to meet the demands of over 100,000 trout anglers, stocking and special regulations are used on some streams to maintain acceptable catch rates. The Wildlife Resources Division and the U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service stock streams with rainbow, brown and brook trout from early April through mid-September. The number of trout stocked and the stocking frequency depend on a stream's fishing pressure, accessibility, and water conditions. In general, streams on public lands are stocked more often and with greater numbers of trout. Trout fishing opportunities vary and include heavily-stocked high-use streams (better for beginners), wilderness streams, streams with special regulations, and small impoundments.

Trout need clean, cold water to survive and reproduce. Georgians can be good trout managers by using proper land use practices. Trees left along stream banks provide shade to keep water temperatures cold while their root systems help stabilize stream banks and prevent soil from washing into the stream and smothering trout eggs and aquatic insects.

Most trout streams are located on private property and the land owner controls access to, and fishing rights in, such streams. It is your responsibility to know when you cross a property line. Always get permission from the land owner before entering or fishing on private property.

Trout Season

Trout season is open from the last Saturday in March through October 31st each year. This year trout season is open from March 25 - October 31, 2000. Be aware that there are many trout streams open to fishing year-round.

Trout Fishing Hours

Fishing hours on seasonal trout streams, except Waters Creek, are from 30 minutes before sunrise to 30 minutes after sunset. Night fishing is not allowed.

Fishing 24 hours a day is allowed on year-round trout streams, except those in the paragraph below, and on all impoundments on trout streams, except Dockery and Rock Creek lakes.

Fishing hours on the Chattahoochee River from from Buford dam to Peachtree Creek, the Conasauga River watershed upstream of the Georgia-Tennessee state line, and Smith Creek downstream of Unicoi dam are from 30 minutes before sunrise until 30 minutes after sunset. Night fishing is not allowed.

Trout Fishing Rules

Trotlines, set hooks, jugs, nets, bows and arrows, and all other gear except poles and lines cannot be used in trout streams.

Trout anglers are restricted to the use of one pole and line which must be hand held.

Live bait-fish may not be used in any trout stream, except live bait-fish may be used on the Chattahoochee River downstream of the Roswell Road bridge (Georgia Highway 9). Seining bait-fish is not allowed in any trout stream.

On trout streams designated as "artificials only", only artificial lures may be used. It is unlawful to possess any other type bait on an "artificial only" stream.

It is unlawful to fish for any fish species in a seasonal trout stream when the season is closed.

Impoundments on Trout Streams

Anglers Can:

Fish for fish species other than trout without a trout license, except on Dockery and Rock Creek lakes.

Fish year-round, except on Dockery Lake.

Fish at night, except on Dockery and Rock Creek lakes.

If you fish for or possess trout, you must possess a trout license. If you catch a trout and do not possess a trout license, you must release the trout immediately.

Visitors fishing impoundments on State Parks can fish for and possess trout without a trout license. State Park visitors fishing trout streams must possess a trout license.

GEORGIA'S TROUT STREAMS BY COUNTY

Trout Streams of Georgia This map has been re-printed. Improvements to the map include: streams are printed in color according to being seasonal, year-round, and special regulation to help anglers, some roads and stream names have been added, especially on streams located on public land; and the list of recommended streams has been changed to direct beginners and experts to stocked streams and streams not as heavily used. The map is available from the Fisheries Section. To help DNR defray printing costs, maps of each county (in PDF format) with trout streams are linked to the county name in the below list of trout streams.
