Man oh man you've opened a can of worms now. Some sources indicate there are over 4,000 miles of trout streams in Ga. Mostly from Atlanta northward. Some of the best streams are in the mountains. If you want to catch fish you probally need to go high in the mountains, and away from people. You are going to have to walk my friend walk...
The drought we are in the middle of right now is not helping things any, and some of the streams are taking on a stagnant appearance, especially the lakes around the area.One stream that comes to mind that seems to produce is the Toccoa River it comes off Blue Ridge Dam and the stretches above the dam are open all year, including the tributaries (check regulations) When fishing below the dam call the TVA for water release schedules as generating for power is a common thing on the river and I cannot reinnerate enough when the water starts rising, GET OUT ...You usually have less than a minute. A personal flotation device is a good idea and I actually think its the law, there are signs around.
Try Curtis Switch, Horseshoe bend on the Toccoa, and float or wade or boat trip in between.
Good Luck and good fishing
