Fishers, anglers, noodlers, and friends alike are such an important part of our river community. They understand firsthand that water quality has a vital role in the health of their catch. Because they care deeply about the river, they work with Coosa Riverkeeper to tackle pollution concerns and fishy situations on our beloved river. Fishers are often the first to notice changes in the river and are encouraged to report pollution here!

The Fish Guide program is home to all you need to know (and then some) about Alabama’s fish consumption advisories, fisheries conservation, and the Coosa River Game Fish Guide. Whether you are learning where to drop your first line, tracking the spawn, or looking for tasty local catch recipes– we got you covered!

We also frequently conduct creel surveys of folks who enjoy fishing on the Coosa to better understand their fishing habits, the role of fishing in our economy, and fish consumption advisories. Our Fish Guide Coordinator worked hard to produce a two-year report on how Coosa River anglers interact with the state fish consumption advisories, download & read it yourself here!
