Atlanta Fishing
When you talk of Fishing, trout and bass, gorgeous lakes and rivers, you are definitely talking about Atlanta, Georgia.
Popular to many locals and tourists who have made a living, hobby, and sport out of Fishing and angling, Atlanta Fishing offers some of the most diverse opportunities among the Southeastern states, with more than 500,000 acres of reservoirs and 12,000 miles of warm water streams.
Atlanta is most known for its bountiful resources of the freshwater game fish - the striped bass. This bass species grows abundantly in all waters of Atlanta. Recently, though, according to studies done by the Georgia Department of Natural Resources, Fisheries Management Office, the striped bass only ranks second to the black bass in 2007. Black bass comes from the same game fish family as the striped bass and is also as popular among local anglers.
Bass species are appealing because they are relatively found in most water bodies throughout Atlanta. You will never go wrong with bass because they grow to a quality size of about 12 to 16 inches. They are also the favorite among locals and tourists because they are aggressive fighters and provide a fun and challenging angling trip.
Atlanta is also branded for its perpetual abundance of trout. Georgia is home to more than 4,000 miles of trout streams and three species of trout. Trout streams are designated as seasonal, year-round or delayed harvest and different streams offer varying populations of rainbow, brown, and brook trout. Some popular waters where you will never fail to catch trout from are the Blue Ridge Tailwater, Noontootla Creek Watershed, and Dukes Creek.
Atlanta offers many Fishing Spots to choose from. If you are in for a calm and relaxing Fishing Trip, go Fishing in any of these lakes - Alatoona, Blackshear, Burton, and West Point. If you opt for more thrilling ride while getting your favorite catch, you can try out these rivers Altamaha, Canasauga, Etowah, and Suwanee.
Atlanta, Georgia is definitely a Fishing haven. You don’t only get good catch and a fun time in the water, but anglers are very much welcome and encouraged in the city. The state government gives much support on this recreational and commercial activity that it came up with “2007 Georgia Fishing Prospects", a complete guidebook detailing the state's 31 reservoirs and 18 rivers. It also offers information on Fishing tips, trends, and specific species location.
