Stock Your Box with Euro

Is your trouting toolbox well-stocked?  Does it hold a lot of “tools” like dry/dropper, indicator rigs, streamer stripping, and even a basic Euro game?  Savvy anglers are versatile, and will match their “tool” (technique) to the water conditions faced that day.

And if you haven’t tried Euro yet, here’s a nice 15-minute video on why you should add that tool to your box.  It’s a great mix of friendly talk and some fat, red rainbow trout. 

https://midcurrent.com/videos/top-5-reasons-you-should-start-euro-nymphing-today-fly-fishing-for-rainbow-trout/

Pay very close attention to reason #4.  I watch many trout anglers fish “over” their targets -  and not truly understand stream bottom structure and its fishy niches.

So add that Euro tool to your own toolbox this fall.  Start slowly and affordable by just rigging a euro leader and a tungsten-beaded bug to a rod you already own.  Pick your longest, lightest fly rod, even if it’s a 9-foot, 5-weight.

Then, if you like the technique, go “fishing” for a specialty Euro rod.  Hmm, it might just be a nice item on your holiday wish list!

And if you want to dive in deeper, check out the Euro video lesson at the Orvis learning center:

https://howtoflyfish.orvis.com/video-lessons/advanced-intermediate-fly-fishing-lessons

I do like the Euro tool, especially when winter water dips below 50 degrees, fish glue themselves to the bottom, and I have to hit them in the nose with my tungsten nymph. Euro has saved many a winter day for me on the Chattooga and Nan.

Try it. It’s actually very easy. You just might like this Euro tool in your trouting toolbox, too.  Stop by or call either of our stores if we can help you get into the Euro game.

Unicoi Outfitters Fishing Report - 11/5/21

We are drying out, but will remain chilly for a few more days until afternoon highs aim toward  70 degrees next week. The region only received about a half-inch of rain, so streams will still be low and clear.  Stealth, lighter tippet, and small, natural (dark) nymph patterns will continue to be your best producers. Think “deep” for trout and continue to hope for “shallow” on stripers.

Get ready for some leaves, too, as each wind gust will deliver a wave of them into your drift line.  Keep our leaf-detour tips in mind. They were in last month’s copy of The Angler Magazine-Atlanta edition.

https://coastalanglermag.com/e-magazine/atlanta/

Private waters are fishing very well - once you figure out the fish.  Low, clear water has dictated lighter tippets and small, natural nymphs and wets on perfect drifts along the bottom. Right now a good technique is trumping fly pattern, so refine your a) indicator depth and b) amount of weight before c) changing your fly pattern.  Just use Wes’ recommended patterns on a drag-free drift  and you’ll score.

More tips and a few angler reports  are in our long version on Facebook and at blog.angler.management.

After you enjoy that extra hour of sleep from the time change, call or come by either UO store for your fall fishing intel and supplies. Good luck!

The Details:

Wes’ Hot Fly List:

Dries: Stimulator, parachute Adams, BWO.

Nymphs: Hares ear, split case BWO, peach egg, rainbow warrior, root beer midge, frenchie, pheasant tail.

Streamers & warmwater:

Muddy buddy, sparkle minnow, clouser minnow, finesse changer, woolly buggers for fresh DH stockers.

GA Trout Waters:

Headwaters will be chilly, so I’d expect a slow (nonexistent?) topwater bite. Blueliners may do better on their #16 or 18 nymphs or beaded soft hackles dropped 18” under their dry fly. Topwater action might pick up a bit during next week’s warmer afternoons.

Recall that GAWRD stocked Vogel Lake and the Blue Ridge tailwaters last week, giving you a couple more shots at stockers.

https://gastateparks.org/Vogel

GA DH streams were stocked this week and the catch&release regs are now in effect.  Thanks to GA and SCDNR’s, the US Fish and Wildlife Service, and the US Forest Service for this week’s cooperative stocking efforts. In fact, I think the Border Bird finishes its flights today.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y4vSdxcYqn0

Those fresh “dumplings” will be podded up in the slow tails of pools, looking for a uniform with a bucket and a handout. Bright colors, flash, and movement of your flies will attract some strikes from these naive fish. For folks new to these streams, WRD has some great maps on its trout fishing web page. Just scroll down the page to Special Regs and click on the stream names.

https://georgiawildlife.com/Fishing/Trout

Given these fresh DH stockers, it’s a great time to tie on a small black woolly bugger to a new flyfisher’s rig and turn him/her on to the sport. Cover some ground, as it will be famine between stocking spots and feasts at them until high water spreads the fish out.

North Georgia Trout Online (NGTO) had a couple of recent reports.

“FishingPreacher” posted a nice Smith DH trip report that’s  worth a look. Hillis shared his Dukes Creek results and hot flies from his recent Smithgall excursion.

http://www.georgia-outdoors.com/forum/forum/fishing-reports/n-georgia-small-streams-trout-reports

NC Streams:

Angler reports indicate these streams are still fishing well. Wild fish are always smart, while NC stockers have been “angler-enlightened” for a month and are now much more discerning. A good drift along the bottom with small, natural nymphs will produce the best. Be on the lookout for a few bugs during warm afternoons and you might score a few bonus fish on top. 

With an extra thousand feet of elevation, most NC stream fisheries run 1-2 weeks ahead of ours for fall weather, and the same interval behind us for spring. That’s great!  We use this info to kick-start our fall trouting earlier and to extend our spring trouting longer. And in the dead of winter, we’re focused on GA streams that are running a few, crucial degrees warmer than the high-elevation stuff.

Right now, NC waters are a little colder and probably carrying more leaves.  It’s still a great time to hit the Smokies or some national forest streams for wild fish. Check the Luftee, notice the chilly temps, and trade your dries for nymphs.

Private Waters:

UO Helen manager Wes:

“I did a trip at Nacoochee Bend earlier this week. The water is starting to get low and the fish are wising up to the bold flies. Small naturals like Hares ears, root beer midges, and pheasant tails worked best for my guests.”

I stopped by the Bend last night and ran into three clients finishing up their unguided trip. The trio had a great time, landing a good number of chunky rainbows on a variety of patterns: eggs, rubberleg stones, and small nymphs.

Reservoirs:

Stripers have still been spotty on top. Surface waters have to cool some more to get baitfish, stripers, and spots up to fly casting range consistently. Watch Capt Mack’s reports for recent trends:

https://www.facebook.com/pages/category/Fishing-Store/CaptainMacks/posts/

GA Retreat:

RonW:

“My wife surprised me with a little trip back to where it all started for US 19 years ago up in Big Canoe. She told me to pack a bag AND bring a rod. As any good husband does,  he obliges his better half! 

We had a great time exploring all the trails and parks amongst Big Canoe's 8000+acres. This place is huge!  Beyond the 3 lakes inside Big Canoe,  1 is known to have large rainbow trout.  There are also several little creeks with access along hiking trails. 

I brought my 7' 3wt glass rod, some tippet  and a box of flies to see what I could get into. I probably didn't fish much more  than a hour collectively. I managed a half dozen pretty little Coosa bass and just as many Hornyheads to hand, all on top and on either a Royal Coachman or an orange Stimulator.  Little Creek bass eating on top on a 3wt glass = an absolute blast! 

Long walks thru the woods exploring creeks and waterfalls, cozy tree topper cabin with great views, warm fire, good food and time with my lady was the perfect way to recharge the ole' batteries. “

Afar:

My high school buddy and fellow angling addict, Steve, sent me a few pics from his recent Cape Cod trip. He said he landed three and sent me pics of the “smallest” one. Glad he tied good knots!  But I don’t think it hit a blue wing olive…

Enjoy the photo.

That’s the latest fishing news from north Georgia on this very fine day for a parade. Thank you Braves. 

May all of you have a Freddie Freeman moment astream. Don’t forget a net, a camera, and a good friend to celebrate your own home run.

Border Bird Flies Again

Reliable sources just told me that the Border Bird has flown.  Have fun making your weekend plans and choosing among a variety of regional flyfishing options. We’ll help your decision process with our weekly fishing report, coming soon.

In the meantime, our article in the November issue of The Angler Magazine-Atlanta edition will help new “birdwatchers” to understand this neat trout management co-op.

It’s on pdf page 20.

Enjoy my video from the 2020 event.

Good luck. Stop by either UO shop for flies, supplies, and advice for your fall trouting adventures.

Hooray Braves!

To all Braves, present and past, thank you for our thrills!!! 

Congratulations on your outstanding win last night. Atlanta and the state of Georgia once again have a world champion!

Thank you for your community efforts beyond the playing field, too!  We remember and honor our dear fishing buddy Knucksie,

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phil_Niekro

who was a shining example of benevolence beyond baseball. For example, his donated fishing trips with Unicoi Outfitters helped raise funds for the National Football Foundation’s programs.

Enjoy this championship, too, Knucksie.  We will fish with you again when it is our time to join you “around the Bend.” But today, with tired eyes and wide smiles, we all join in celebration:

Hooray Braves!!!

Unicoi Outfitters Fishing Report - 10/28/21

It’s cold and rainy outside today.   That will change our game, at least until it warms back up next week.  Topwater reports from earlier this week might not apply as well to newly chilled waters, but the dredging intel will be spot-on.  For now, go deep for trout in the colder water.  Deeper water, too? We’ll have to wait and count our rainfall totals tomorrow to see if it will be any deeper for your weekend. Right now we’ve gotten only 1/3 inch and streamflows have barely bumped.

https://waterdata.usgs.gov/ga/nwis/uv?site_no=02330450

Dry fly die-hards can still toss their preferred, floating bugs with some hope as long as the water is over 50F. Next week’s return of sunshine might help this bite a bit.

Lake bass and stripers are slowly stirring, but still very hit-and-miss. HenryC and his reservoir navy want more cold air to cool off Lanier and create a consistent surface bite.  

See his prediction, breaking WRD trout news,  and many other “hot” angler reports  in our long version on Facebook and at blog.angler.management.

Go as soon as the rain quits. If not for the catching, then definitely for the cool-weather casting and prime-time leaf looking!

Call or come by either UO store for your fall fishing intel and supplies. Good luck!

Unicoi Outfitters:

The Details:

Wes’ Hot Fly List:

Dries: Yellow or orange Stimulator, October (orange) elk hair caddis, tan chubby Chernobyl, tiny parachute Adams or Blue Wing Olives for flat water risers.

Nymphs: Walt's worm, girdle bug, lightning bug (silver), rainbow warrior, micro egg, hares ear, frenchie, pheasant tail.

Streamers & warmwater:

Sparkle minnow, triple double rainbow, clouser minnow, finnese changer, Murdich minnow, Cowen’s Something Else, and red squirmy or small black woolly bugger for fresh stockers. 

GA Public Waters

Headwaters:

We had no headwater reports this week, as most of our blueline fans have now detoured to either a) bigger, downstream trout waters or b)hunting.  Bluelining should still be good as long as water temps stay above 50F. Keep throwing a dry/dropper rig and consider the risers as “bonus” fish.

Delayed Harvest:

GAWRD fisheries region supervisor Anthony Rabern said that GA’s mountain DH streams will be stocked for this year’s DH season, which kicks off on November 1.  We usually give the state and fed folks that first day to complete their stocking trips, and advise anglers to give them a try soon afterward.  Fish will be schooled up at their deposit points until high water and hunger distribute them better in the weeks ahead.  Flash and movement are the keys to these naive stockers. In 2-4 weeks, you’ll need your small nymphs and drag-less drifts to solicit strikes from smartened salmonids (like the NC fish now).

Other Trout Streams

There might be a chance of some other fall stockings, so sign up to receive the WRD weekly fishing reports and trout stocking lists. Have your kid, a Zebco, and some worms or Powerbait on standby.

Trout Fishing | Department Of Natural Resources Division

UO buddy Mo got back in the game and shared a 10/27 Dukes report: “Kurt and I fished Smithgall and did fairly well, despite the clear water. We caught a bunch of tiny rainbows, which gives us hope for the future population. We also landed a couple of real nice bows, while uncapping a few that straightened out our tiny nymph hooks!”

NC Streams:

Delayed Harvest waters fished well, but anglers had to up their games to fool the more experienced and educated stockers. Dredger hit Nan DH on Tuesday and had a decent day. The water was skinny and he had to find deeper pockets and pools, preferably in the shade, to get bit. He went Euro before lunch with a sexy Walts anchor and a tiny frenchie as the dropper.

At lunch, he noticed more flying October caddis and tiny (#24) BWO’s.  He re-rigged to a dry/dropper (oct Caddis, frenchie) combo and finished the day with another handful of fish, including a few on top. All three flavors of stockers and some wild bows were fondled.

RonW’s bunch did better:

“Here you go...what a day! 

Yesterday (10/23) was another stellar day on the water for the Trio. We fished some new water on a familiar creek and it didn't disappoint. We went up about 2 miles, cherry picking the good runs and also fishing the pocket water in-between.

 My Purple CDC Ronko did it again. Stocked fish and wild fish just can't leave this fly  alone. I easily caught a couple dozen on the same fly, including two stud browns back to back about 30 minutes apart. Upon photo analysis, it was the same fish!

 I remembered  my waders and took zero falls in the creek, which is a win right there. Add in numbers of fish with a few quality fish mixed in and time spent with great friends and you have yourself a life-long memory to file away.”

Park:

The Smokies streams were low and clear and full of spooky residents. Dredger hit one park locale last Sunday afternoon.  Fishing was great but his catching was slow, at least until the shadows fell on his dry/dropper rig. He woulda caught more by strictly nymphing, but wanted to enjoy a last hurrah with dries before it really turned cold.

 A cornucopia of consolation  prizes still made the day great: clear water, fall leaf colors, color-full wild bows and browns, and a BIG elk herd at dusk. Hint: if they aren’t visiting the Cherokee visitors center, then hang the next right toward greener grass at the Job Corps Center.

Private Waters:

Jake:  “I had a great day on the Soque with Tom. It was all nymph-fishing, down deep with a healthy amount of split shot. We had plenty of action all morning on various mayfly nymphs and small egg patterns. We did manage a real nice brown, which fell for a very small egg pattern.”

I watched new UO staffer Grant practice his nymphing  skills at the Bend yesterday after work. He landed three chunky bows in short order on “a good drift” and some small, dark natural nymph like a hare’s ear.

Jimmy: “We had a great time hosting the All Girls Flyfishing Event at Nacoochee Bend on Saturday. The majority of our young ladies hooked up and quite a few of the new flyfishers landed their very first trout!  Nymphing was the key to most hookups, with rubberleg stones, dark woolly buggers, rainbow warriors, and lightning bugs among the top producers. We’d like to give a shout-out to the White County News for its excellent article on this event!”

https://www.whitecountynews.net/local-newsletter/reeling-new-generation

Jimmy again:

“Kathy and I had fun hosting our dear friends from TX, Steven and Audrey.  Steven corralled a nice striper on Lanier. The next day, both of them had fun dredging nymphs and mops at Nacoochee Bend. Both caught 20+ inch fish, while Audrey landed two that pushed 24 inches!  They sure enjoyed their Georgia mini-vacation.”

Ponds:

No recent reports.

Reservoirs:

HenryC checked in:  “Striper fishing on the pond is still very hit or miss. They feed one day and then take the next day off.   Water temps on Lanier are cooling and we should be getting into the consistent temps needed by the next week. Every year is different and this year once again shows that. Fish on Lanier are definitely a little stockier as we are seeing more 8-10lb fish than in past seasons. Fish have been caught already on artificials up to 15lbs,  which is a great sign for the lake population. We should start seeing birds helping locate the schools of fish over the next couple of weeks. Intermediate fly lines with flies in the 2" to 4" range are what you need. Fish are either on small shad or medium herring and that's the conundrum. Having a 2" fly on when you find a school eating herring won't get you a bite. Same when you throw a 4" fly and your school is eating 2" shad. If you have two rods, rig them both and be ready to “match the hatch” at your bow. We are now booking trips for the January timeframe. Good luck and I’ll see you on the pond. “

Jimmy:

“Striper fishing on Lake Lanier is beginning to show signs of what we all love in the fall; schools of stripers busting shad on the surface.  They are up and down quickly, so rig a spinning rod with a swimmer (Ex:Sebile) and a fly rod with a small streamer (Clouser or something else) and be ready for a quick cast or two while they’re up.”

That’s the latest scoop on this cold and rainy day. Hey, we need the liquid and the chill. They’re both good for the fish!  And we hope this hot intel has warmed your buns enough today to pack your car and make some weekend memories.  By dusk!

Why?  Get inside to a TV:

Go Braves!

Unicoi Outfitters Fishing Report - 10/21/21

Welcome back to similar conditions as we saw last week. The weather is great, with crisp mornings, comfortable afternoons, and dry days. Real dry. While we may get a few showers tonite, they likely won’t impact our streamflows very much. Creeks are cool and super-clear. Again, bring your best stealth game and be ready to downsize your tippet and flies if fish are nervous and picky in the clear water. Droppers might outfish your dries once again.

Slow down and get down with your pond and river  bass flies to accommodate cooler water temperatures. You might still have some good catches during our home stretch before cold water shuts down the north GA river bite.

Shallow action in reservoirs is slowly picking up. Capt Mack Farr’s recent Lanier reports give us fly-flingers hope for surface action soon.

https://www.facebook.com/pages/category/Fishing-Store/CaptainMacks/posts/

Best bets are wild and summer holdover trout, North Carolina Delayed Harvest trout, pond/river bass and bream on warm afternoons, and reservoir bass and stripers late in the day and after dark.

Angler intel and Wes’ hot fly list follow on our Facebook page and blog.angler.management.

Wes’ Hot Fly List

Dries: Yellow or orange Stimulator, elk hair caddis, chubby Chernobyl.

Nymphs: Blowtorch, Walt's worm, girdle bug, lightning bug (silver), hares ear, frenchie, pheasant tail.

Streamers & warmwater:

Sparkle minnow, triple double rainbow, clouser minnow, finnese changer, Murdich minnow, black woolly bugger.

Headwaters:

Headwater flows are dropping, but there is still a decent volume in these creeks to drift your dry. They are just super-clear, so be ready to downsize tippet and bugs to coax more strikes. Leaf-fall isn’t bad yet, unless a wind gust blows through. (It will be worse up in NC, as falls runs 1-2 weeks earlier up there.). Just look for deeper and/or shaded water for eager fish. Be ready with an 18 inch dropper to a #16 beaded pheasant tail or hares ear, if residents are slow to eat your dry. A high Hooch trib ran 58F at 11AM today.

RonW’s first of two awesome contributions this week:

“The Trio became a 5 piece on Saturday 10/16 when we linked up with a few friends, aka the "Young Guns", to fish some new water across the state line. The day started off great with us seeing the largest bald eagle I've ever seen do a fly over as we were gearing up.  

We stepped into the water and were immediately into colored up wild fish.Numerous flies worked throughout the day as long as the drift was perfect. My Purple Ronco slayed them again for Moe and I as did some other smaller cdc nymphs I tie. We also caught a few on eggs, squirmies, buggers, Pheasant Tails and Frenchies to name a few. 

What a great day to be out on the water and in good company. The five of us combed thru about 1.5 miles of water, with all picking up well over a dozen fish each. The Young Guns probably doubled what we caught...these guys can flat out fish! This ole' dog definitely learned some new tricks.”

Trout Streams:

Dukes Creek:

Web reports last week showed that Dukes was very tough in the low, clear water. We expect the same challenging conditions this week as flows remain low and clear. Remember our tip of dropping a small, natural nymph or midge 3 feet under a bushy stimulator and floating the combo downstream, into a deep, shady run or pool. If the nymph isn’t tungsten, then add a size 6 or 8 dinsmore shot to the tippet about 6 inches above it. Sink it under your dry.

Other GA streams:

Bigger streams that stayed cold enough for summer trout survival should continue their revival. Remember October’s color -orange, and try an October caddis or orange stimulator as your top fly. Drop a #16 tungsten prince, frenchie, or hares ear about 3-4 feet behind it. Give these bigger waters a try:  the upper Toog, West Fork, Hooch low in the WMA, Cooper, the Cohuttas, and low elevation Smokies streams. Bring binocs to elk-watch if you head to the national park.

NC:

DH streams have fished really well. They should, for the fish were fresh out of the hatchery.  Now, 3 weeks into the season, they’ll start smartening up. Keep your attractor (egg, worm, rubberlegs) as your first fly, but change your dropper to something small and either bright (lighting bug) or buggy (pheasant tail) to appeal to more experienced fish and even the wild trout in most of those streams.

Many GA tourists like the Tuck, too. The fine folks at Tuck Fly Shop shared some good intel on their home river:

https://www.tuckflyshop.com/single-post/explaining-the-tuckaseegee

You don’t have to believe this, but as I’m typing this DH section and finishing the weekly report at 4:54PM, my phone starts blowing up.

To your benefit! Ole RonW shared the freshest fishing report possible.  Enjoy:

“Against my better judgement and in light of my recent wading mishaps, I made a game time decision to shoot up to Fires today 10/21 on a solo mission. I only had about 4 hours to fish so I had to make the most of it. I went to the same spot where on my last outing, we saw a 20"+ rainbow cruising a certain run but couldn't get him to eat.  I saw him move up out of nowhere as soon I got in the watern. A few drifts right in his face and nothing!  I saw him move on my 5th cast, line went tight and we were dancing. He  jumped a few feet out of the water and shook me off in a matter of seconds! I spent another 20 minutes trying for another hookup to no avail.

The fish are starting to wise up and are not eating junk like they were a few weeks ago. I did manage to fool 3 on the egg and another dozen or so on my Purple Ronco before I had to call it quits and head back south to get a little work done.

 I ran into another fisherman who had quite the scare. There were Hunters out there training their dogs to chase bears and they chased one right down the hill,  through the Rhodo and nearly right on top of this guy...scared the bejeeesus out of him as he put it.  

All in all, it was another great day to be alive and time well spent on the water. I can't wait till the weekend.”

Private Waters:

UO Helen shop manager and guide Wes: “Private water fished well this week with the cool air. The water level is dropping so a good drift or a swung fly seems to be the trick. Girdle bugs, Rainbow warriors, Walt's worms, and pheasant tails worked best for my clients.”

UO guide Palmer:

“My clients did well this week on mops, squirmies, eggs, also the ever trusty soft hackles and woolly buggers. Dead-drifting and swinging techniques both worked.”

Bass Rivers:

Local rivers are clear and a bit cold.  They should fish well for folks tossing subsurface patterns. The Hooch at Highway 115 was nice and clear, but a cool 59 F at noon yesterday (20th). Try some articulated streamer patterns and crayfish ties, and work them slowly in the colder water.  This bite will likely slow as water temps drop into the fifties, so grab your yak or canoe soon for a floating last hurrah til next spring. 

UO owner Jimmy hit the Hooch for less than an hour after work this week. He waded a shoal near his house and dredged up two small shoalies and a pretty redbreast. And commented:

“Fly anglers love to pursue beautiful fish. They don’t come much more beautiful than a Chattahoochee redbreast.”

Small Lakes and Warmwater Streams:

Again, cooling surface temps may cool off the topwater bite, but streamer fishing should remain consistent.

Athens Jay filed this brief report and shared some

 nice pics: “Local pond fishing was good despite windy conditions. “

Reservoirs:

UO staffer Joseph:

“Here’s a pic of a spot I caught over the weekend. We were throwing baitfish imitations on points and in coves. “

There’s the latest, and I mean latest, intel from your UO gang.  Get out there  soon and enjoy the cool weather and clear water. Before you know it, you’ll be head-to-toe in fleece and bottom-bumping nymphs for a few lethargic winter trout. 

Don’t let fall get past you. Come by or call either UO store if we can help your October fishing-fest. Remember your waders and remember to duck if bears and dogs fail their social distancing test!
