Big Bass Move to Paradise PFA

TIME TO GO FISH AT PARADISE PFA: BIG FISH MOVED 

 

With the temporary closure of Ocmulgee Public Fishing Area (PFA), Paradise PFA is now home to even more big fish! 

 

Ocmulgee PFA, known for the trophy bass caught during the last few years, closed temporarily on November 7 to fully address and make preparations to repair detected leaks in the main lake.  Georgia Department of Natural Resources’ Wildlife Resources Division personnel collected remaining fish and relocated them to a variety of locations.  Approximately 150 older bass went to Paradise PFA.  Younger bass will be held at hatcheries to re-stock Ocmulgee PFA after the repairs.

 

“Paradise Public Fishing Area already has a great bass population with quite a few trophies, but certainly will be enhanced by the addition of 150 plus bass between five and 10 pounds,” Deener said.

 

The Ocmulgee PFA bass were stocked into 50-acre Lake Paradise.  That lake, just like Ocmulgee PFA, is catch-and-release only for bass.  Anglers cannot possess bass, even if caught from another lake, while fishing on Lake Paradise.  Anglers may possess species other than bass in Lake Paradise, according to length and creel limits.
