On your next visit to the North Georgia mountains, be sure to check out the Hiawassee River if you enjoy fishing. It is the premier trout river of the North Georgia Mountains. Fish include rainbow trout and brown trout. Be sure to check the Georgia fishing regulations for seasons. Make sure you talk to the locals in the area, they can give you tips for where to fish along the river as well as what to use for bait.
