Fishing on Lake Allatoona can be a relaxing respite or an exciting adventure.

You only need a powerful boat, water skis, a crazy loud stereo, pretty girls/dudes and …  No, wait.  That’s water skiing.  Sorry.

To go fishing all you need is Lake Allatoona, a modest fishing pole, a worm and somebody who will bait your hook and take the fish off your hook when you land The Big Ones.

Yes, you might need a license too.

Who needs a fishing license?

• Anyone age 16 and older must have a current Georgia fishing license in their possession while fishing in Georgia.  Rangers may also require identification when checking fishing licenses.
