Spend more time fishing in North Georgia and you’ll fall in love like I did. I lived in Atlanta for 4 years and fished all over the state, but mostly in North Georgia-it’s incredible. It looks like y’all were in Rabun County (without being too specific) so you’re definitely in the right place, but it sounds like the timing was just not the best. Try early spring and it will be worlds different. If you need some tips finding those wild browns or better yet native brookies, send me a DM and I’d be glad to share some maps. Anything to help support a better view of trout fishing in Georgia!

Subbed! Quick story about trout fishing here or close. SC/N GA is my back yard. I've always fished with a ultra light rod and meal worms, crickets or power bait. My trout fishing buddy always used Joe's flies (rooster tail spinners) I never used them and he always out fished me. He fell several years ago fishing one of our favorite spots and sadly lost his life. He was the best friend anyone could have, a father, husband and a golden human being. It's still hard til this day for me to trout fish, but I do and love it. In his memory I stopped at the tunnel town express store in Wallhalla SC where he bought his Joe's flies and bought one of each one they had. I've rarely been to the river without catching my limit now that I used them. If you guys ever want to take one along they'll bite those if they won't bite anything else. I get it's not fly fishing but they'll grab those. They all have different names, apache, lil brookie, and trout poacher are my go-tos. You guys look into little and big Eastatoee river in upstate SC for some great trout fishing as well. Whitewater river has some very nice natives that are tough to catch as well. Appreciate the content!

I'm sorry to hear that man! At least you guys had some great memories.

All this talk about euro nymphing makes me chuckle. I learned “tight line nymphing” many decades ago from the great Joe Humphreys. I still remember my astonishment right down to the exact pool and trout (a 13” rainbow) when I tried it for the first time and IT WORKED! I was on jury duty at the time and the judge was calling 2 hour lunch breaks. I’d wolf down a bag lunch on the way stream-side, fish for an hour and a half and race back to court. One of the cases was an eminent domain federal land grab for I-91 in VT. The plaintiff was a local rich guy who was so arrogant and smug on the stand that we found in his favor and then awarded him $1.00 🤣

I’m headed to North GA for some fly fishing next month and found you while doing some research for it. You asked for comments, I don’t know if you can control it or not on the video production end. But, the volume swings between talking and music are huge. I keep having to turn it down when the music plays and up to hear what you’re saying. Just an observation. Other than that keep up the good work.

Y'all are doing a good job. Try the blue Ridge area. My dad caught a 5and 3/4 pound rainbow up there
