The Georgia Department of Natural Resources, Wildlife Resources Division recently distributed printed versions of the regulations to all Division offices and facilities, a number of State Parks and fishing license retailers statewide. An online version of the new regulations already is available at www.georgiawildlife.com/fishing/regulations.
WRD advises new and experienced anglers alike to familiarize themselves with the Georgia Sport Fishing Regulations before casting a line.
“This guide is designed to help anglers find great places to fish and to educate them on Georgia’s fishing opportunities and regulations,” explains WRD Chief of Fisheries Management John Biagi. “We are especially excited about the new ‘look’ of the regulations and hope they make information even easier to find.”
The guide provides helpful information, including color fish identification charts for both freshwater and saltwater fish, license
purchasing information, contact information for WRD fisheries management offices and WRD law enforcement offices, trout stream listings, public fishing area information, state record fish listings and complete fishing regulations for Georgia.
The Board of Natural Resources sets Georgia’s fishing regulations based on recommendations made by the Department’s fisheries biologists
and field personnel while the Georgia General Assembly sets the laws related to fishing.
