“Trout fishing is available year-round in Georgia, but there are five special streams that follow Delayed Harvest (DH) regulations to enhance angler success,” explained John Lee Thompson, WRD Trout Stocking Coordinator. “From November 1 to May 14, these streams operate under catch-and-release rules and anglers must also use single hook, artificial lures. These streams are stocked monthly by WRD, alongside partners like the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and South Carolina DNR. This approach of regular stocking and catch-and-release ensures great trout catch rates and boosts angler satisfaction.”
