Fishing

North Georgia lakes provide an ideal habitat for Spotted Bass, Largemouth Bass, White Bass, Crappie, Bluegill, Redear Sunfish, White Catfish, Walleye, Yellow Perch, and Brown Trout. While the Spotted Bass population is abundant, the Largemouth Bass population continues to decline. Walleye and Brown Trout were stocked to control the growth of the Blueback Herring.

Fishing in Georgia requires a fishing license. Licenses can be purchased at some sporting goods stores, convenience stores, marinas and county courthouses.
