Interactive educational signs have been installed at fishing ponds owned by Cobb County.

Each sign displays the pond’s current fishing status and creel limits along with a QR code.

Once the QR code is scanned with a smart device, you will be taken to a website with more information.

The PARKS Pond website features details on the type of fish stocked in the county’s ponds, where to park as well as the location of nearby restrooms and park amenities.

None of the county’s nine ponds are catch-and-keep — only catch-and-release.

To see how the signs work, view this YouTube video at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p9qVfbB0Glo&feature=youtu.be.

If you fish at one of the Cobb PARKS ponds, Cobb PARKS staff members request that you fill out the online survey to tell them about your fishing experience. Survey results will be used to more efficiently maintain pond restocking plans.
