Ga. DNR Releases Fishing Regulations

The Georgia Department of Natural Resources says anglers can now find the new 2015 Georgia Sport Fishing Regulations Guide online and in print.

The 2015 Georgia Sport Fishing Regulations Guide provides helpful information, including color fish identification charts for both freshwater and saltwater fish, license purchasing information, contact information for Wildlife Resources Division and Coastal Resources Division fisheries management offices and DNR law enforcement offices, trout stream listings, public fishing area information, state record fish listings and complete fishing regulations for Georgia.

The DNR said people may view, download and print the guide at www.gofishgeorgia.com/fishing/regulations, 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.

Georgia DNR Fisheries Management Chief John Biagi said that whether people want to find great places to fish or are just seeking guidance on laws and regulations, the 2015 Guide can provide them with information, adding that the agency suggests that all anglers, new and experienced, take a look at the publication each year before casting a line.
