Waters Creek:
Forest Service Road 34 off US 19/129 north of Cleveland, GA. this is a tributary of Dick's
Creek, on the Chestatee WMA. Fish are rarely stocked but the stream is managed under
strict regulation and only artificial lures with a single barbless hook are allowed.
Enforcement is strict. The objective is to provide skilled anglers with a better
opportunity to catch a real trophy trout. Commercial trout food is broadcast regularly
into the stream, in order to maintain abnormally high numbers of large fish. The area is
open only on weekends and Wednesdays. All anglers must check in and out at a check
station. A Wildlife Management Area stamp is required in addition to a regular fishing
license and trout stamp. This stream is not for the novice angler who has done very little
fishing for wild trout.
Dick's Creek: Forest Service Road 34 off State routes 19 and 129
northwest of Cleveland. A very popular stream that is stocked weekly during the trout
season. Some of the lower part of the stream is on private land and landowner permission
is needed to fish.
Dockery Lake: Off route 60 north of Dahlonega. This scenic three-acre
lake is stocked every other week during the trout season, except that stocking is
sometimes suspended in August if water temperatures get unusually high. Fishing is allowed
only during the trout season. The Forest Service operates a campground adjacent to the
lake. It is a very popular area. |
