A Couple of Keepers

We will be closing this Saturday, June 1st, at 2 pm in order to witness our Assistant Manager, @wes.mcelroy tie the best knot he ever has.

Two Toothy Grins

We get to fish for some really cool species this time of year when they run up the river out of Lake Lanier to spawn. Connected with 6 yesterday evening but only able to land this male. The big girls (over 4' long) were difficult to get to eat. When they did, it was game on, jumping like tarpon and throwing the fly. Sorry I didn't get a video of that.

The Downstream Sprint

It took a long tug-of-war in the stadium pool and then a hundred-yard downstream sprint on slippery cobbles, but our buddy "Sautee" kept his feet and corraled his first-ever river striper on the fly!

Hot Bassin'

River Bassin' is really hot right now. Yesterday, we landed 6 fish over 18 inches! That's incredible!!! Give us a call to get in on the action.

Unintended Target

After volunteering with Casting for Recovery yesterday, Robert Rivers joined us at Nacoochee Bend to see if he could hook up with a striper. All he got was this lousy 26.5" (taped) rainbow!!!

First One on the Fly!

 

Always a big smile when you get your first fish on the fly rod!

River Lover

We are so saddened to hear of the passing of our good friend, Rocket Roy Lowe.  Rocket was an avid volunteer for everything concerning clean, cold water and flyfishing.We never saw him when he wasn't just happy to be there. You will be missed, Rocket. Thank you for your life as a good example to the rest of us. For more information, please visit

This gal looks like she just ate a gopher! @erodge6 getting it done. 

Wild Trout Time

The wild trout streams are fishing great with the warm weather! Grab a few attractor dry fly patterns and go explore the mountain creeks.

Spring is Here!

On Bartram'sTrail

Stu Hunt with a nice little native Bartram’s bass. It’s so cool to see all the unique black bass species we have here in Georgia.

Improving Conditions

Long and lean... Conditions are improving, and this week's forecast is great! We hope you are able to get outside and enjoy some of the great fishing opportunities.

North to South

@john_gouker from “Gouker Fly Fishing” came down south and enjoyed a couple days of fishing with UO guide, George Mac.
