Kids fishing at Lake Burton
In December staff from Lake Burton got up early and went to Georgia’s Cordele Fish Hatchery to pick up channel catfish and deliver them across the county.
In one creek alone a variety of fish were caught; redbreast, bluegill, black crappie, warmouth, stumpknocker, shellcrackers, and fliers. Along with one-third of the east coast is undeveloped marsh. A fishinging license and a trout stamp go a long way in the Peach state.
