Happy holidays to all of Atlanta’s DH trouters! WRD is excited to resume trout stockings in the Chattahoochee River this year, BUT we need the assistance of our WRD volunteers to help stock trout in the Chattahoochee River just in time for Thanksgiving! Our first delayed harvest bucket stocking will take place at Whitewater Creek (East Palisades; directions here!) on the Chattahoochee River on Tuesday, November 22^nd at 11:00 AM. The stocking truck should be arriving between 10:30 AM and 11:00 AM, and volunteers should bring a 5-gallon bucket, waders, and a signed copy of the liability and photo waiver for all adults and kids participating. These events are great for kids to have a chance to help get trout in the water and even catch a few once all the fish are stocked. What better way to burn some extra calories before that big Turkey Day feast, right?

We look forward to seeing you all on the 22^nd and we welcome all to attend. We really appreciate it if you take the time to sign up on our volunteer portal at Go Outdoors GA (sign up here!)—this is the best way to let us know you plan to volunteer for the event. If anyone has questions, please contact our Wildlife Resources Division’s Gainesville region office at 770-535-5498.
