The
Allatoona Lake Project is a heavily used boating and
angling lake located 30 miles north of Atlanta.
The area offers fishermen numerous opportunities in terms of locations to fish
and fish species. Convenient boat ramps, day
use areas and campgrounds are situated around
Allatoona (Lake
Map).
Allatoona Lake is approximately 11 miles long with
12,010 acres and 270 miles of shoreline. Shoreline
fishing locations are numerous with many areas
offering fishing jetties.
The Georgia
Department of Natural Resources annually restock the
lake through their fish stocking program. Along
with native fish found in the lake, this provides a wide
variety for
anglers. Fish species include bass (largemouth, hybrid, stripped, spotted,
and white), crappie, bream (bluegill, redbreast and redear sunfish), gar and catfish.
In 2002, the Fish Habitat
Improvement Program was created through a joint
effort between the Corps of Engineers, Georgia DNR, local
businesses, volunteers and anglers. The fruits of
this effort has been obvious around the lake since
that time. Expanded projects in 2007 and others
planned for 2008 will further expand the fishing
opportunities at Allatoona Lake. For a detailed fishing forecast at Lake
Allatoona click on the
Georgia DNR fishing information web site.
