 Fisheries Section Activities 
Fishing is the most popular wildlife related activity in Georgia, enjoyed by every age group. More than 900,000 resident anglers use the State's diverse freshwater fishery resources that offer more than 4,000 miles of trout streams, 12,000 miles of warmwater streams wider than ten feet and half a million acres of impoundments. Anglers spend more than $448 million yearly on fishing in Georgia. The ongoing programs of the Georgia Department of Natural Resources, Wildlife Resources Division, Fisheries Section (Section) during fiscal year 1995 (FY1995) included the management of public waters, development and management of public fishing areas, technical guidance in private waters, development and maintenance of boating access facilities, production and stocking of trout and warmwater fish, production of aquatic education materials and services, and survey projects and studies designed to benefit these resources. Detailed information on the Section's activities and program costs are listed in the tables in Appendices A-H. The statewide fisheries program is administered from the headquarters office in Social Circle and seven regional offices (Figure 1). 
Over the July 4th weekend of 1994, Tropical Storm Alberto caused heavy rainfall (approximately 21 inches in the Town of Americus, for example) in southwest Georgia. Because of the extensive rainfall, the Flint River and other streams in that watershed f loaded the City of Albany and other towns along the river. The 500 year f load created considerable damage and suffering tor local residents. A considerable number of Wildlife Resources Division (WRD) personnel from all over the state provided rescue and flood relief assistance to the area from July 7 to July 24, 1994. The Section expended 631 mandays and approximately $ 91 ,000 on this effort. 
The flood caused by Tropical Storm Alberto damaged the Lake Blackshear dam so severely that the lake had to be drained and the dam repaired. A positive result of the 
draining ot the reservoir was that it provided an opportunity to enhance the fish habitat in 
the reservoir. Three springs were identified in the lake that could possibly be developed as thermal refuges for striped bass in the summer (large adult striped bass cannot survive without these refuges). While the lake was down, enclosures were built around these springs to help retain the cool water in a larger area for a longer period of time (more than 3,000 cement-filled sandbags were used). If these enclosures are successful in helping large striped bass survive the summer, then a self-sustaining population of Gulf Coast striped bass could possibly be established in the lake. Plans are to monitor the effectiveness of these enclosures. 
In FY1995, the Georgia Department of Natural Resources issued guidelines for eating fish tram Georgia waters to help ensure anglers understand the risks from environmental contaminants. This was a Joint effort between the WRD and the Environmental Protection Division. Section personnel played a maJor role in determining the waters to be sampled, collecting the fish, and developing the information for publications (such as the fishing regulations pamphlet) distributed to the public. Few contaminants are found rn fish in Georgia, and in most cases the levels are low. Development of these guidelines was a positive step in helping ensure that Georgia's anglers can safely enJoy the health benefits of eating fish, which provide a high protein food source, low in saturated tat. The sampling of fish statewide will continue, and the guidelines will be updated as necessary.

 The Section s aquatic education efforts continued to grow in FY 1995. The 
"Mountain Streams" poster, the newest addition to the Aquatic Habitats Poster Serres, was completed and distributed to educators all over Georgia. These posters, along with the accompanying background information and lesson plans, help educators teach about aquatic resources. The Section's aquatic education coordinator worked with other southeastern aquatic education coordinators to develop a pocket identification guide to fishes in the southeast. These guides have been published and are now available to the public. Requests tor fish identification information occur frequently, and this guide will enable the Section to better meet those requests. Kids Fishing Events {KFEs) continue to increase in popularity with 258 events held with 19,410 children attending in FY1995. Approximately 18 % of the children were beginners and almost 88 % caught at least one fish. Sponsors were encouraged to meet the Section's goals for a KFE: have fun; learn how to fish safely; follow rules; catch a fish; and touch a fish. 
Section staff devoted considerable resources to the finalization of agreements with Georgia Power Company (GPC) and the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission relative to the relicensing of the Lake Sinclair Hydropower Project. Highlights of the final license conditions include improvements in the minimum flow releases from the dam to improve aquatic communities downstream, the acquisition of three new boating access sites (two on the river and one on the reservoir) for the construction of facilities by WRD, improvements to the shoreline management plan which will protect existing undeveloped lands on the reservoir and promote improvements to the shoreline, and GPC's commitment to improve exIsting camping and angler access to the reservoir. 
Section staff assumed primary responsibility for the coordination and 1mplementat1on of recovery activities for the robust redhorse, an imperiled fish species discovered during the early phases of the relicensing process at the Sinclair Pro1ect. Act1v1t1es performed by Section staff during FY 1995 related to this responsibility include: 1.Organizing and helping lead meetings of agencies, power companies, and conservation groups to draft and implement a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) to recover the robust red horse throughout the former range (Georgia, South Carolina, and North Carolina); 2. Serving a lead role (one staff member served as chairman) of the Robust Redhorse Conservation Committee, composed of all signatories to the MOU; 3. Assuming a lead role in identifying research needs related to the recovery of the species; 4. Collecting broodfish, locating and obta1ning hatchery space at state and federal hatcheries for the production of robust redhorse fingerlings, identifying suitable stocking sites, and coordinating the stocking of those fingerlings; 5. Monrtorrng the status of the Oconee River robust redhorse population and the stocked fingerlings. 
The Fisheries Section also continued to provide public service in other areas. Samplrng continued on Georgia s maier reservoirs and streams to detect potential problems and monitor fish populations. Studies designed to identify management needs, assess fish populations, and evaluate ongoing programs were also continued. More than 4.6 million frsh produced at the Section s seven warm water hatcheries were stocked into more than 2,103 ponds to establish fish populations, either in newly constructed or in renovated ponds. The Section also had another highly successful season of producing and stocking striped bass and white bass x striped bass hybrid fingerlings in 1995. All production goals were exceeded. About 1. 1 million striped bass fingerlings and more than 5.2 million 
_..., 
 
 hybrids raised in Georgia hatcheries were stocked in Georgia reservoirs. In addition, 86,904 advanced phase I (2-4 inches) and 51,660 advanced phase 11 (6-8 inches) striped bass reared at Richmond Hill and Bo Ginn National hatcheries were stocked into the Savannah River as part of a continuing project to restore striped bass in that river system. More than 883,000 catchable size trout were produced and stocked out of Georgia hatcheries into trout waters, in addition to more than 110,000 trout stocked by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service.

Includes fish kills caused by sewage discharges from county waste treatment facilities as well as city 
 
facilities. 
 
C 
 
The number of fish killed and values only represent two fish kills. The third fish kill was on Potato Creek near 
 
Griffin, Georgia. This fish kill occurred during flood relief operations by Section personnel in response to the 
 
impacts of tropical storm Alberto on Southwest Georgia. Personnel were therefore not available to complete 
 
a precise fish count; based on visual estimates, several thousand fish of unknown value were killed. The 
 
numbers are not included in this table. 
 
d 
 
Estimates of the number of fish killed by disease or natural causes are not normally calculated using accepted 
 
fish kill counting guidelines. Estimates for the value of the fish are therefore rarely calculated.

Raleigh, Hillside and Stump ponds. Temporary gravel boat ramps 
 
were constructed at Whitetail and Dairy ponds. Concrete slab 
 
boat ramps and service piers were constructed at Shepard and 
 
FoJC lakes with associated handicapped accessible parking areas 
 
and paths to the ramps. A handicapped fishing trail was also 
 
constructed at Shepard Lake. Angler access trails were 
 
constructed at Crossroads Lake and Lower Raleigh and Dairy

Georgia on the Chattahoochee River. The land on which the ramp 
 
was built was leased from the City. The completed ramp was 
 
approximately 290 feet in length and 30 feet wide. A service pier 
 
was purchased for installation at the site but installation will occur 
 
during the nex I year. A new parking lot was constructed at the 
 
new boat ramp constructed during FY 1994 on the Ocrnulgee River 
 
at State Route (SRI 96 in Houston County. Plans were 
 
completed, permits obtained and materials acquired for new boat 
 
ramps at Brier Creek in Screven County and on the Savannah 
 
River at Poor Robin Landing in Screven County. Because of high 
 
water levels during this year, these two ramps will be completed 
 
early in FY 1996. The second of two new ramps was completed 
 
on the St Marys River in St. Marys in Camden County. Plans for 
 
the ramp on the Chattahoochee River at Campbellton Road in 
 
Fulton County were begun. It is likely that this project will be 
 
completed during FY 1996. Plans were completed for the ramp on 
 
the Sapelo River at U.S. Highway 17 in McIntosh County. 
 
Renovation of Bennett Lake Darn and Marjorie Lake Dam at Charlie Elliot Wildlife Center
