Fall Bass
The cooler days of fall are a great time for bass fishing in Georgia. Bass are gorging on small shad, herring and bream. Fisheries staff across the state are surveying fish populations this fall.

· Fall Fling
Fly flingers, old and new, always enjoy these semi-annual gatherings at Buford Hatchery. It’s the NGTO Fall Fling on November 3. Details here:

Breaking news: our two awesome, new WRD fisheries biologists, Zach and Hunter, will be there to say hello.
· Fall Road Show
Zach’s second stop: UNG. The young gunslingers up there evidently wanted a young speaker!

It’s Friday, so his reservoir reports should be refreshed shortly.

· Fall Walleye Intel
Finally broke the walleye jinx (except for the spawning run, have caught some then) yesterday. Walleye was 22”, 4.25 lbs. Interestingly the walleye hit a minnow and the perch a crankbait.

Way to go, Matt! We completed our annual gill net sampling yesterday on Lake Yonah. Walleye were relatively abundant in the 1 to 3 lb size range from midlake upstream to where the lake takes a sharp bend to the right, especially on the South Carolina side. Our biggest walleye was about 6 lb but it flopped out of the net before I could weigh and measure it. Most of the walleye seemed to be in about 30-feet of water near the ledge of the river channel. Hope you have the opportunity to catch some more walleye soon; however, GA Power will be drawing the lake down starting on Monday and will keep it down for about a month, which means the lake will be inaccessible during that time period. Lake Tugalo will be your best alternative, especially on the points within sight distance of the South Carolina boat ramp.

· Hurricane Relievers
Kudos to WRD’s North Georgia Fisheries Region staff members Leon Brotherton, Colt Martin, Kevin Thomas (Burton office), Travis Taylor (Buford Hatchery) and Mark Bowen (Armuchee office) for working some hot, 12+ hour days in south Georgia to clear county roads, WMA’s, and state parks from hurricane debris and restore some essential services and hope to that impacted region.
· Fishing Overpowers Hunger!
Here are the photos from our fishing trip to the Lake Burton Hatchery! When I told Carsyn it was time to leave because we needed to grab some lunch, he said “Fishing over powers hunger…”
I will send John Lee a nice note and send the photos his way!”
- WRD Gainesville Fisheries secretary Lauren Long
Good luck this week. Thanks for buying your fishing licenses, tackle, and TU-Brookie car tags. As Carsyn and Splatek have discovered, we need more tackle boxes and less Xboxes!

Happy Halloween on the water. May our tricks provide you with some finned treats.
