Fishing is one of my favorite pastimes, and
North Georgia has some of the best fishing spots
and secret hideaways in all of the Blue Ridge
Mountains and the Southeast. As an avid angler,
I have explored just about every creek, pond,
lake, and secret fishing spot in North Georgia;
here are a few of the best North Georgia Fishing
spots.
Scenic Blue Ridge GA lies in a gorgeous valley area
where two rivers, the Ellijay River and the Cartecay River join together and form the
Coosawattee River. The mighty Coosawattee River
runs into Carters Lake, which is the deepest
lake in Georgia and a lake known for its grand
rock dam, the largest rock dam east of the
Mississippi River.
 Carters Lake is approximately 11 miles long and
offers over 62 miles of beautiful, preserved
shoreline. Because of restrictions around the
lake, there are no private docks or development
along the lake, creating spectacular beauty and
a fine place to go Fishing in North Georgia.
However, shoreline fishing on Carters Lake is
limited due to steep grades and rocky areas that
are found around the lake. Boaters have access
to six different boat ramps and loading spots
and can enjoy peaceful North Georgia Fishing
near the lower part of the lake. Near the upper
region of the lake, you’ll find the regulation
dam and some excellent fast water fishing below
the dam on the Coosawattee River. In both the
upper and lower portion of the lake, anglers
will find a variety of fish species including
large and smallmouth bass, stripped bass,
crappie, walleye, catfish and bream. The Georgia
Department of Natural Resources has an active
fish stocking program and it regularly stocks
native fish in Carters Lake. For those that
enjoy camping, hiking and picnicking, the
Carters Lake Recreation Area has excellent
facilities for these activities and much more!
 If you are looking to enjoy the excellent Trout
Fishing in North Georgia, be sure to head out to
the Mountaintown Creek area in the Cohutta
Wilderness Area and Appalachian National Forest.
Mountaintown Creek joins the Coosawattee River
just before Carter’s Lake and is one of the best
places to fish for native and stocked brown and
rainbow trout. Some lucky fishermen have caught
large, native trout here, and it is not unusual
to catch 20-26 inch trout. Offering fishing in
many different spots, Mountaintown Creek is a
very wide creek, and in many places it is wider
than some rivers. The waters are crystal clear
and mostly cold throughout the year as it flows
from colder water in the small tributaries that
flow from the North Georgia Mountains. These
deep, cold springs create excellent breeding
grounds for trout and many large, trophy sized
trout have been caught in its waters.
