It's not just georgia...most of the states in the banjo belt do a better job with common sense fish management. And with way less license revenue. My "combo" tag for fishing and hunting was 50 bucks

Here in Arkansas we got 2 rivers that are well managed for trout. The spring and the white. Both have rainbows, Brooks, and browns. 10lb fish a fairly common with a realistic shot at something over 20. The white tribs even have a couple former world record browns caught out of them.
