Before you go

A Georgia fishing licence runs $15 a year for residents. Georgia DNR sets the rules and is the one that counts.

What you may keep

Georgia WRD sets a size or bag limit for 11 species here — 11 with at least one area open today. Where a species is open in one water and closed in another, its own page says which. Each page carries the agency's own figures, the date they were read, and what is still unsettled.

Can you eat what you catch?

That call belongs to Georgia Department of Natural Resources, Environmental Protection Division (Georgia EPD) — Georgia keeps this with its environmental agency rather than the health department, and publishes it per water and species. We link the source instead of paraphrasing health advice.
