Chill is in the air ... Georgia's Delayed-harvest trout fishing just ahead
Georgia Department of Natural Resources needs your help again this year and hopes you will continue to support this effort. The scheduled meeting places and lead chapters are listed below. Please feel free to invite anyone who would like to participate.
- 10:30 Smith Creek (Day use area at Unicoi State Park) - Foothills TU
- 10:30 Toccoa River (Sandy Bottom Canoe Launch) - Blueridge TU, arrive earlier to launch your boat
- 11:00 Chattahoochee River (Whitewater Park) – Georgia Tech 5 Rivers Flyfishing Club
- 2:00 Amicalola River (Highway 53 bridge) – Goldrush TU
This extra effort at the beginning of the DH season ensures a better fishing experience for everyone. DH anglers can immediately spread out and find trout in areas further away from the traditional stocking points. The 5 Rivers Flyfishing club was new last year to this traditional November 1st get together and I hope they can participate again this year. With the 1st being a Friday, I think it will be a great day to help spread out the trout and then sample the fruits of your labor.
All participants must sign a liability waver (click to download). Please bring a filled-out waiver and a 5-gallon bucket in you are going to participate. Other good things to consider are work gloves and waders. We appreciate your support. Looking forward to another great DH season.

DH Fishing Rebgulations
Anglers fishing delayed harvest streams must release all trout immediately and use and possess only artificial lures with one single hook per lure from November 1-May14 annually. The use of additional “dropper” lures on one line is permitted as long as each lure contains one single hook. These restrictions do not apply from May 15-October 31 of each year.
A valid Georgia fishing license and trout license are required.
