Anglers love Georgia for its natural beauty, temperate climate, and abundant fishing opportunities. Boasting more than 15,000 miles of trout streams and warm-water rivers, a half-million acres of reservoirs, and 100 miles of Atlantic Ocean coastline, the Peach State offers something for every angler. Many come to pursue Georgia's lunker largemouth bass, but other sport fish also grow to outsize proportions, including striped bass, rainbow trout, bluegill, and channel catfish. Fishing Georgia describes all the best waters from the mountains to the coast, so anglers will know exactly when and where to fish, how to get there, and what kind of gear to use.
Georgia angler and fisheries biologist Kevin Dallmier has fished these waters for more than fifteen years. He shares his intimate knowledge of 102 top fishing spots, including:
- in-depth site descriptions
- the species present
- the best times to fish
- tips on lures, flies, bait, and tackle
- information about access, availability of campgrounds, and regulations
Detailed site maps and an illustrated section describing the habits of Georgia's game fish round out this angler's companion.
