Trout season opened this past March, but unlike previous years, they will no longer have a closing date. Now state trout streams will remain open year-round, according to the Georgia Department of Natural Resources’ Wildlife Resources Division.
This change in trout fishing regulations only eliminates the dates of “trout season.” So, come this October, the season will not close as it has in past years.
The daily limit is eight trout on general regulation trout waters. Anglers are reminded to respect private property rights along streams flowing through private lands and to obtain permission before fishing on private property.
Anglers must possess a current Georgia fishing license and a trout license to fish in designated trout waters and to fish for or possess trout. Anglers must also possess a wildlife management area license or Georgia Outdoor Recreation Pass in order to fish on certain WMAs.
