Fly Fishing North Georgia's Rivers...The Toccoa is On The Radar

North Georgia Has It All!

So it's that time of year again back in Georgia, no not College Football and no not about Hunting..it's that time of year again for our Annual "20 years now" Canoe trip. My pops has been organizing this grande trip every year from as far back as I can remember and it was that time again. Unfortunately I haven't been able to make it in a few years but they're only too happy to send me pictures and to keep me updated as to how much fun they had again this year. The Toccoa River was their choice and I heard it didn't dissapoint.

Every year we pick a different River mostly in North Georgia if not in North Carolina. My favorites for our canoe-camping trips have easily been the Chattooga, Amicolola, Little Tenneessee and the Nantahala over the years. Every River is different yet captures something special to each one who floats it.

For those not accustomed to floating or even fishing back South, it's well worth it! I grew up doing it and still aspire to get back and to do it as much as possible while living in the Rockies these last 13 years.






I can't wait to get back again to smell that Mountain Laurel and Rhododendron flowers after it rains. Be prepared, it rains a bunch and the fishing can light up as soon as it rains, the rivers also rise quickly but drop the next day so be prepared. Whether canoeing or kayaking these great rivers, it's the fond memories that brings you back here again and again.

Georgia Trout Streams, Fly Hatches and More!

North Georgia Trout, Man do I miss Them!

What is it about North Georgia's trout streams that draws thousands of anglers each weekend to some of the South's most popular rivers? It could be the fact that Georgia has over 4,000 miles of Trout stream water and I can honestly say that during my days at UGA and living in Atlanta, I fished a great deal of them! Whether it was my personal favorite of the Chattooga, Dicks Creek, Toccoa or the Chattahooooooooochee. I now live in Denver and the closest trout water is around 30 minutes yet I could drive only 15 minutes to a local trout spot when I lived in Atl, that seems wild but true!

For the Top Trout Streams in Georgia look no further, checkout this site for the Top 10 sites to fish in Georgia and information on how to fish them. Also for the latest in Hatch reports can help find out what's flying around you and what to throw. With so much water to fish, water flows that change each day due to rainshowers -or lack there of as of late, and most importantly where the crowds won't be, the information listed here will hopefully make your day out a bit better.

Georgia's DNR has really done a ton to help improve the trout habitat in the state of Georgia and to revive areas that were in danger to a healthy trout population. For updated news on updated stocking reports, delayed harvest waters, seasons, fishing reports and more! Georgia's Dept or Natural Resources has every trout fisherman's answer to catching nore trout and recent fishing reports. Also some additional resources that I've been fortunate enough to attend include the Georgia Trout Unlimited Council, Atlanta Fly Fishing Club, and I lived a few blocks away from Atlanta's go to Fly shop that needs no introduction The Fish Hawk.
