Soque River
Georgia's Soque River has gained fame in trout fishing circles for producing trophy rainbow and brown trout. Almost all of the river is private, although access through commercial fishing lodges is available. Small stretches are public within the Chattahoochee National Forest. A portion of the river is also within the Tray Mountain Wilderness. The Soque River and its watershed are located entirely within the county boundaries of Habersham County in northeast Georgia. The Soque is a tributary of the Chattahoochee River. Portions of the river run along State Route 197.

WRD Fisheries Biologist Chris Martin recently finished the state’s 2007 fall electrofishing surveys, and even though analysis of the findings will not…
“And I thought bass fishermen were secretive about their favorite fishing holes,” was what I thought as I swallowed back the bile working its way up my throat. For those prone to motion sickness, being blindfolded is not the best way to ride in the back of a vehicle careening up a gravel mountain road,…
