Fish for Free... the
Chattahoochee River Link
to 'Hooch Maps
(Buford Dam to Hwy. 41 Bridge in Atlanta)
If you want to save money and sharpen your fly fishing skills
prior to chasing large Rainbows and Browns on private waters, or even wild natives
in the mountains, we suggest that you try the Chattahoochee River.
A fishing guide is not
required!
There is ample access to fish the 'Hooch. Holds mostly
easy-to-catch "stockers" and a few reasonable size holdover fish.
Limited Brown trout reproduction has been documented above Island Ford in low
water years. True natives are virtually non-existent in the 'Hooch but we have
caught and released a few native Browns over the years. In the "upper river"
areas, more Browns are killed by non-catch & release anglers each year than
reproduce. Predominently, the 'Hooch is hatchery supported by the Buford Trout
Hatchery.
A special regulation delayed harvest section that is heavily stocked
between November 1 and May 14 is located from the Hwy. 41 bridge near Cumberland
Mall up to Sope Creek. Easy access is available from Cochran Shoals just above
I-285 down to the Hwy. 41 bridge along National Park Service controlled property.
Due to very warm water conditions in the summer below Morgan Falls dam, virtually
all trout can not survive the year.
