Fishing season begins for Henry County reservoirs

The Henry County Water Authority’s 2020 public fishing season began March 1.

The Tussahaw and Upper Towaliga reservoirs are available for public access from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. Wednesdays, Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays through Nov. 29. Anglers must purchase an HCWA Reservoir Use Permit at the HCWA headquarters in McDonough. Eligible permit holders include HCWA customers, Henry County residents and Henry County property owners. Permits are valid for one full calendar year from the date of purchase, and a permit holder can bring a guest at no additional charge.

Utilizing the reservoirs also requires a waiver/release form and a valid Georgia fishing license, and customers must adhere to all rules and regulations governing the use of HCWA reservoirs and Georgia public waters.
