Wade Fishing For Bass Near Atlanta

[MissouriBassMan]

I'm glad i found this site and am looking forward to learning about the local creeks and rivers. I'm a bass-man who grew up fishing the rocky rivers and creeks of southern Missouri. I'm fully addicted to smallmouth bass and i've heard the shoal bass is similar. I moved here for work, so i don't have any fishing connections yet. Hopefully enrolling on here will fix that. I'd like to find someone who's needing a fishing buddy to go wading for bass. I'm eager to find some good rivers/access points that are good for wading. I like to cover a lot of water so spots without long, deep (impassable) pools would be ideal. If anyone has any suggestions, i'd greatly appreciate it. Also, i'm up in the Roswell/Alpharetta area but am more than willing to drive as far as i need to. Thanks in advance for any tips and/or invitations!

I can't think of the name of the river/creek, but it runs thru Canton, Ga, kinda wiggles through the whole city.  I used to live in a apartment on it, and caught a ton of spotted bass and such in it.

GA 400 / Alpharetta / Roswell / South

From Alpharetta take 400 S and exit Northridge. R on Dunwoody Pl, R on Roberts Dr. Chattahoochee Natl Forest / Park. They've got an info store with maps of the river. I've gone wading while fly fishing for trout. Rainbow and Brown. There are deep parts farther south. If you take Roberts past the park it ends at Roswell Rd. Take a R on Roswell, you almost immediately cross the river, take your next right on River Rd. There's a park up on the right. Also, taking River Rd left has a park pretty far down, one closer and some public access. There's a huge lake at the end of River Rd in this direction. Forgot to add that there's a lake in the National Forest as well. Although I wasn't too serious, I know you can fish the Chattahoochee all the way down to the city. There's a dam which I heard had the Bass you referred to.

That's about all I remember. And, depending how far out 400 you are, just keep heading N and you'll hit Lake Lanier.
