Chattahoochee River
Georgia's signature river runs two personalities: a cold, year-round trout tailwater below Buford Dam through metro Atlanta, then a warm shoal-bass river once it clears the city. The upper reach is entirely generation-controlled — Buford Dam releases (US Army Corps) turn a wadeable trout stream into a dangerous, rising river within an hour, so the horn and the release schedule matter more than any single CFS number.

Toccoa River
A blue-ribbon North Georgia trout river with two faces: the upper Toccoa above Lake Blue Ridge is a wadeable freestone stretch of wild and stocked trout with a delayed-harvest section, while the famous tailwater below Blue Ridge Dam runs cold and clear on TVA generation. The upper reach fishes on rain-and-clarity; the tailwater is release-driven — always know the schedule before wading below the dam.

Flint River
One of the great shoal-bass rivers on earth — the upper Flint above and below the fall line at Sprewell Bluff runs clear over long bedrock shoals that grow trophy native shoal bass. Unusually, it flows almost 200 miles without a dam through this reach, making it a wade-and-float jewel for anglers chasing shoalies on current.

Chattooga River
The Wild & Scenic Chattooga on the Georgia–South Carolina line is best known for whitewater, but its upper reaches around Burrells Ford are a cold, tumbling wild-trout freestone with rainbows, browns, and native brookies in the feeder branches. Skinny and technical in summer, it flashes hard and dangerous after mountain rain.

Etowah River
A standout Coosa-system river carrying native shoal bass and redeye up high and a strong smallmouth, spotted-bass, and catfish fishery through its long shoal reaches.

Tallulah River
The upper Tallulah above Tallulah Gorge is a classic small North Georgia trout freestone, stocked and wild, lined by USFS campgrounds along Tallulah River Road. Cold and intimate, it fishes best on low, clear water; the dramatic gorge downstream is a state-park scheduled-release whitewater reach, not a wade fishery.

Altamaha River
Georgia's greatest river — the mighty Altamaha, formed where the Oconee and Ocmulgee join, runs undammed across the coastal plain to the sea. A legendary big-river fishery for largemouth, redbreast, bowfin, gar, and huge flathead and channel catfish, its sandbars and sloughs make good access. This is a boat and bank river; treat conditions as stage and bank safety.

Ocmulgee River
The Ocmulgee tumbles over its final fall-line shoals at Macon — a native shoal-bass reach below Lake Jackson — before spreading into a big, slow coastal-plain river of largemouth, catfish, and gar running to the Altamaha.
