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.
