Changes this

year include:

The largemouth

bass length limit at West Point Lake has been reduced to 14 inches.

A largemouth

bass slot limit has been set for the new Bear Creek Reservoir in Jackson

County. This 16-22 inch protected slot limit is designed to help promote

trophy bass potential in that water body once the lake opens to fishing.

Several seasonal

trout streams have been changed to year-round status. This will provide

additional year-round fishing opportunities on streams in thirteen north-Georgia

counties.

A 2.3-mile

section of the Chattooga River in northeast Georgia has been added to

the popular delayed harvest program.

Saltwater

fishing regulation changes impacting red drum, whiting, and sponge crab

are highlighted in the regulations guide.
