About Cahaba River
The longest free-flowing river in Alabama and one of the most biodiverse rivers in North America — home to more species of fish, mussels, and crayfish per mile than almost any river on the continent. Smallmouth and spotted bass chase poppers in its shoals; the Cahaba shiner is found nowhere else on Earth.
Regulations
No special trout regulations. Standard Alabama sport fish rules apply. Certain mussel species are federally protected — do not collect.
