License and access permit
Georgia fishing license where required; Rocky Mountain also requires its direct-purchase parking/entry pass. A Lands Pass alone does not authorize fishing.
When you can go
Use the official area rules for current species seasons, legal hours and any area-specific closures. This record does not confirm access for a particular date.
Area restrictions
Release largemouth bass 16–24 inches and all grass carp immediately. Camping areas and trails close during scheduled hunts.
Plan with the official agency
The agency documents public recreational fishing at this named access, using ordinary fishing licenses or direct-purchase entry. This record excludes controlled events and any separately restricted activities.
No lottery is required for the described access and species. Other hunts on the same property may require a drawing. Check current seasons, closures, check-in and capacity before traveling; open access does not reserve an exclusive spot.
Agency sources reviewed 2026-10-07. Official property/access information and current state license/rule sources reviewed October 7, 2026. This is a planning record; check current notices before travel. Public entry is arranged with the agency, with no Back40 booking fee.
