Warmwater streams and rivers provided anglers ample opportunities to enjoy fishing in a diverse setting. Southeastern streams and rivers are inhabited by a wide range of sportfish including the sunfishes, black basses, catfishes, true basses, and percids. Fishery management programs vary as much as potential fisheries. Although novel to most states, management techniques to enhance warmwater lotic fisheries are becoming more widespread. A review of southeastern state's programs will be provided including regulations, stocking, and habitat enhancements.
