Chattahoochee River Tailwater Sampling (This report courtesy of WRD Region Supervisor Anthony Rabern): Gainesville Fisheries staff conducted electrofishing surveys for trout on the Chattahoochee River below Lake Lanier (i.e., the Lanier Tailwater). The relative abundance of wild brown trout is slowly improving from historically low numbers documented in recent years. Lanier Tailwater is also known for producing trophy brown trout, including the 20 lb, 14 oz state record brown trout that was caught in 2014. While no state-record contenders were collected this week, some potential up-and-comers were noted.
