The Chattahoochee tailwater is widely regarded as the premier trout fishery in the region; Trout Unlimited members in Georgia voted it the state's top trout destination and the tailwater has been featured on Trout Unlimited TV. Natural propagation among brown trout (about 15%) and strong spring hatches give the river its reputation as an aesthetic and challenging fly-fishing venue.
