* Georgia Walleyes
Here is a quick DNR report, as our biologists are still in the field (hint- Coosa white bass are running, so they’re getting the ingredients for Richmond Hill Hatchery to make hybrids for the statewide program).
Earlier this week, Fisheries Techs Chris and Leon hit the Lanier tributaries for walleye. They shocked up hundreds of fish on the Hooch, starting at least a mile above Mud Creek and going upstream. About 6 females were caught and two of them were spent, so the spawn is on. The duo also hit the Chestatee and found about 50 fish, starting at the 400 bridge and going up. Again, it’s likely that most walleye are upstream from the point where our prop-motor boats can go, so go high!
