New Fishing Pier at Lake Hartwell

New Fishing Pier at Hartwell Dam
The Georgia Department of Natural Resources will open and dedicate a new fishing pier below the Hartwell Dam at 10 a.m. on Jan. 15, giving anglers greater access to fishing areas adjacent to the facility on the Georgia side of the Savannah River. The dedication ceremony will take place at the Georgia River Recreation area off of U.S. Highway 29 just below Hartwell Dam in Hart County, Ga.
DNR, SC Bass Federation team up for youth fishing clubs
The S.C. Department of Natural Resources and the Bass Federation of South Carolina have teamed up to bring Youth Fishing Clubs to your school. The South Carolina High School League can make bass fishing a high school sport in all areas of public schools if we get 16 or more schools involved and a desire for a state championship.
Lake Hartwell PCB settlement options
A relatively small, but vocal, group of people are advocating for removal of the third dam on Twelve-Mile Creek. Why wasn't this dam included with the removal of the other two? For one, it's expensive, requiring $5-8 million to be removed, but most importantly, it doesn't need to be. It is the uppermost dam in the system, impounding only about 10 percent of the sediments in the watershed. The kicker is that this dam has a mechanism to pass the sediments, whereas the other two dams do not. Apparently, it just hasn't been used as frequently as it should. Removing the dam won't change the ability to pass the sediments. It is just an exceptionally expensive way to change the mechanism for how sediment is passed.
Fishing and Hunting license survey
Fishing and Hunting license survey
Please take a few moments to complete this on-line survey. After we compile survey results to determine what license changes are the most popular for hunters and anglers, we will take the recommendations to the DNR Board for approval and if approved the recommendations will be sent to the General Assembly to try and encourage them to pass legislation to enact the suggested changes to the S.C. hunting and fishing license structure.
