Arrowhead Fishing Area
(Editor’s Note: The follow
ing article is condensed from a
story by Marvin Tye in a recent
issue of Georgia Game & Fish.)
It has been estimated that
Georgia has 1,250,000 fisher
men. There are those who like
fishing large impoundments,
and others who would rather
surf-fish or troll offshore
waters for salt-water gamesters.
Some prefer the solitude of an
isolated mountain stream,
where they might find trout or
small-mouth bass.
There is yet another breed
of angler who likes to fish
small ponds for bass, bluegills
and catfish. There is no prob
lem in finding large impound
ments or trout streams on
public land in north Georgia or
in getting access to good salt
water fishing on the coast. Un
less you own land or know
someone who does, getting per
mission to fish on small ponds
may present a problem.
The Georgia Game and Fish
Commission has embarked
upon a program to furnish
public fishing lakes to help
solve this problem. In addition
to providing fishing for those
who just like to fish such
waters, there are a number of
other advantages. These public
fishing lakes are ideal for the
handicapped, for the elderly
and for children.
You don’t need a large boat
or extensive know-how to fish
these waters. The lakes are
well-stocked and a person who
fishes long enough to become
acquainted with their charac
teristics can have good success.
The Arrowhead Public Fish
ing Area is the newest to be
opened to the public. It con
sists of two easily accessible
ponds, one of 16 acres and one
of 19 acres, which will be
opened for fishing on alternate
years. The 19-acre pond was
opened for fishing for the first
time this year. No public fish
ing had been allowed in either
of the ponds prior to the 1970
season. The fishing season at
this facility runs from April 1
to Oct. 31, with angling
allowed on Wednesdays, Satur
days and Sundays only. (The)
admission charge is $1 per day
for each fisherman 16 (years of
age) or older. Boats are not
allowed at this facility, and all
fishing must be done from the
bank.
Fishing is primarily for
channel catfish, with some bass
and bream action to be had.
Bass were stocked primarily to
rid the lake of wild species
other than catfish. There is a
10-inch limit on largemouth
bass and a creel limit of two
per day. Anglers may take five
catfish and 25 bream each day.

Summerville, go south on High
way 27 to the Armuchee Post

Decisions made in the Comptroller's office touch the
daily lives of all Georgians. In such highly personal matters as
Insurance. Small Loans. Consumer Protection and Fire Safety.
To cope with the vast responsibilities of the office,
your Comptroller must have proven administrative ability.
Al Hatcher has it. He was Deputy Insurance Commissioner of
this State for the past three years, in charge of the sensitive Claims
and Investigation Division of the State Insurance Department.
The Comptroller also must have legislative insight. Hatcher
has it. He was Chief Aide and Legislative Liaison to the
Lieutenant Governor in 1963-67. Al Hatcher has decision making
experience and that rare blend of youthful enthusiasm and
mature judgment so necessary to effective leadership.
