General Fishing Regulations. Anglers must follow the appropriate Georgia general regulations while fishing. Make sure you know what the daily limit is for the species of fish you're planning to catch. The Georgia Department of Natural Resources provides advice on fish and shellfish caught in the waters in their jurisdiction to help people make informed decisions about eating fish. Advisories are recommendations to limit your consumption of, or avoid eating entirely, certain species of fish or shellfish from specific bodies of water due to chemical or biological contamination. The Chattahoochee River from Buford Dam to the mouth of Peachtree Creek, including Bull Sluice Lake, is a designated trout stream where special trout regulations apply.
