| Georgia Trout Fishing | |
| Trout Fishing in Georgia The 5 primary trouts are the rainbow, brook, brown, cutthroat and lake trout. Georgia offers fishing only for rainbow, brook and brown trout. Brown trout are considered the most difficult to catch and brookies are the easiest. Pure cold water is key to survival of the trouts and the brook trout is the most sensitive to temperature. The others are comfortable in slightly warmer waters. Trout Fishing Waters In Georgia Lake Burton, Lake Sidney Lanier, Nottely Lake and Eufaula are the primary lakes with populations of trout. The state record brook trout came from Waters Creek, the Chattahoochee River yielded the state record brown trout and the state record rainbow trout was caught from the Soque River. Visit the Georgia Department of Natural Resources for details regarding trout stocking in Georgia. Rainbow Trout
