Angler's "Bible"
Finding unexplored fishing territory this day and
time is more difficult than ever before.
Why?
People.
There’s nothing wrong in the world today that
a few less people would not cure.
But when it comes to'fishing, there are many un
explored places in Georgia. The only trouble is no
body knows where to find them. Not until Howard
Zeller and his crew of fishery biologists charted vir
tually unexplored waters in their publication, “Geor
gia Fish and Fishing.”
Those anglers who do not already have a copy
of this fine publication should get one. It is
destined to become the “Angler’s Bible” for
Georgia.
Aside from a detailed description of major fishing
areas from Rabun’s Gap to Tybee’s Light, saltwater
included, the book has maps of access roads to the
choice fishing areas.
it also describes the several species of game
fish found in Georgia waters, tells you how to
catch them and even gives you the best months
of the year to angle on the state’s many lakes
and streams.
When you consider that Georgia has 257,933 acres
of major reservoirs, 2,818 miles of rivers, 700 miles
of cold water mountain streams for trout, approxi
mately 3,000 miles of small tributary streams and
over 40,000 farm ponds, there is plenty of room for
fishing even in this day of seemingly “overfished”
fishing holes. .
The boater, too, will find Georgia Fish and Fishing
informative because there are maps of every large
impoundment and river in the state.
Add to this the location of boat docks, mari
nas, bait and tackle stores on the shoreline and
boat launching ramps and you have information
that has been badly needed for several years.
A copy of Georgia Fish and Fishing may be ob-
' tained by writing the Game and Fish Commission,
401 State Capitol, Atlanta, Georgia.
, * * *
The Game and Fish Department’s fish manage
ment chief, Fred J. Dickson, will head a special study
of the coast with an eye toward providing better salt
water fishing. ,
Dickson is due to begin the research shortly
and report his findings to the Commission by
1 late spring or early summer.
Among the things Dickson will look into will be
the possibility of establishing artificial fish drops
I to create bettor habitat for sport fish.
