Georgia Delayed Harvest Meeting 08:43:09 4/05/100
The Georgia Department of Natural Resources will hold a public meeting to discuss the possible implementation of delayed harvest trout regulations for the Chattahoochee River below Morgan Falls Dam on Wednesday, April 19, at 7:30 p.m. The meeting will be in the auditorium of the Gwinnett Justic and Administration Bldg., 75 Langley Drive, Lawrenceville. Send written comments toWildlife Resources Division, Fisheries Section, Attention: Lisa Klein, 2123 US Hwy 278, SE, Social Circle, GA .Delayed harvest provides a catch-and-release fishery for a period of time, then reverts to catch-and-keep. In Georgia's case, the proposal is to allow catch-and-release, using single-hook artificial lures, from Nov. 1-May 14. From May 15 - Oct. 31, the stream would be managed under general regulations. Delayed harvest is becoming increasingly popular around the South on waters that are marginal for trout.

Death on the Watauga 05:57:57 3/24/100
For those of you who have not heard, at least 10 miles of the Watauga tailwater in upper East Tennessee has been destroyed as a trout fishery. The section begins at Elizabethton and runs downstream, which means the trophy/quality zone was wiped out. Biologists say it will probably be 10 years before the river recovers. The destruction was apparently the result of an industrial fire. Biologists say the water firefighters used to fight the fire carried chemicals from the plant into the river. Fish deaths were practically instant.For a full report watch for the Spring issue of Troutsouth.
