Lake Chatuge is a reservoir in Towns County, Georgia.
Stocking records show that the following fish or strains were stocked here. A historical stocking does not by itself prove that a self-sustaining population remains today.
Chatuge sits across the Carolina-Georgia line, with mountain scenery, rocky banks and a bass fishery tied closely to blueback herring. Alabama bass are a major target. Largemouth give you a reason to spend more time around docks, fallen trees and the backs of coves.
Try points and riprap with a small swimbait for Alabama bass, watching for herring near the surface. For largemouth, slow down around wood and dock shade with a worm or jig. The upper lake above the Highway 76 bridge has cover worth exploring. A light bream outfit is useful for a more relaxed shoreline session.
Jackrabbit Mountain Recreation Area provides North Carolina lake access, camping and a swimming beach on a peninsula. On the Georgia shore, the former Lake Chatuge Campground area off Sunnyside Road has day-use fishing access under the DNR forecast. Its camping closure should not be confused with Jackrabbit's facilities.
Paddling and a campsite beside the lake make it possible to split fishing into morning and evening sessions. Arrange your license for the state waters where you will fish. Chatuge is one reservoir across the border, but that does not make every shoreline access point subject to identical rules.
