State's new sport fishing regulations available in convenient online form The all-new 2007-2008 Georgia Sport Fishing Regulations are just a click away. The Georgia Department of Natural Resources (DNR), Wildlife Resources Division (WRD) offers a convenient online version of the updated regulations at www.gofishgeorgia.com. Printed versions will also be made available at WRD offices and facilities, a number of State Parks and over 1,000 fishing license retailers statewide by the second week of March. WRD advises new and experienced anglers alike to familiarize themselves with the Georgia Sport Fishing Regulations before casting a line. "Georgia offers so many different fishing opportunities from the coast to the mountains and this booklet is designed to help anglers find great places to fish and to educate them on Georgia's fishing regulations," explains WRD Chief of Fisheries Management Chuck Coomer. "It contains information that should answer all basic questions for both new and experienced anglers." The guide provides helpful information, including color fish identification charts for both freshwater and saltwater fish, license purchasing information, contact information for WRD Fisheries Management Offices and WRD Law Enforcement Offices, trout stream listings, public fishing area (PFA) information, state record fish listings and complete fishing regulations for Georgia. The Board of Natural Resources sets Georgia's fishing regulations based on recommendations made by the Department's fisheries biologists and field personnel while the Georgia General Assembly sets the laws related to fishing.
