Georgia Plans Holiday Trout Stockings

CLARKESVILLE, GA-Before the Thanksgiving and Christmas holidays, the
Georgia Department of Natural Resources, Wildlife Resources Division
will stock eight popular streams. Although the state's stream trout
season ended Oct. 31, these eight streams are part of a long list that
remain open for year-round trout fishing.
Streams to be stocked with 9-inch trout include the Chattahoochee River
(Gwinnett County and Helen), the Tallulah River (Rabun/Towns counties),
Panther Creek (Habersham/Stephens counties ), the Broad River (Stephens
County), the Lake Hartwell Tailwater (Hart County), the Lake Blue Ridge
Tailwater (Fannin County), Holly Creek (Murray County) and West Armuchee
Creek (Walker County).

Anglers must possess a current Georgia fishing license and a trout
license to fish in these waters and to possess trout. There is a daily
limit of eight.
