2016 Fishing Guide Now Available

Anglers can find the new 2016 Georgia Sport Fishing Regulations Guide online and in print.

The Georgia Department of Natural Resources’ Wildlife Resources Division released the new guide Monday.

The 2016 Georgia Sport Fishing Regulations Guide provides helpful information, including color fish identification charts for both freshwater and saltwater fish, license purchasing information, and contact information for Wildlife Resources Division fisheries management offices and DNR law enforcement offices.

You can go online and simply download and print the guide at www.gofishgeorgia.com/fishing/regulations or you can pick up a printed copy at any Wildlife Resources Division fisheries management office or DNR law enforcement office or at fishing license vendors throughout Georgia.

Something new this year for anglers is the change in mountain trout water fishing.

Recently, the DNR announced all mountain trout water is now open to angling year round.

For more information on trout fishing in Georgia you can go online to GofishGeorga.com.  Additional resources include the Wildlife Resources Division blog, where anglers will find fishing reports for different parts of the state.  Go Fish Georgia!
