North Georgia Fly Fishing

Georgia Wild Trout Fly Fishing Guide Service
Georgia is not known for having many of the accolades that come with most of the trout fisheries out west, but still offers excellent opportunities for anglers to get outdoors and experience the sport of fly fishing. The different opportunities you can find across the state make Georgia a near perfect location for beginning fly anglers to learn and hone their craft. In Georgia there are 4 distinct types of trout fisheries that each offer something different to anglers. Stocked Trout Streams, Wild Trout Streams, Private Water Trout Streams, and Tailwater Trout Streams can all be approached very differently and often require different tactics for success.

Whether youโ€™re a seasoned fly fisherman, or just getting out on the water, the Snowy Range offers ample opportunity and excitement for everyone. Here are some reasons you should visit Wyoming to wet a fly in the Snowy Range.

The ABCS of the Trico Spinner Fall

Joe Dellaria
The first time I saw a Trico spinner fall was mid-July. The good news was, I had read an article and was able to recognize what was going on. The bad news was, I didnโ€™t have any trico spinner flies and watched helplessly while standing in the middle of a trout feeding frenzy. I did manage to entice one nice trout to take a grasshopper. That was a consolation prize as I watched dozens of fish feeding with total abandon within four or five rod lengths. At one point, the spinner fall was so thick, a 20+ inch trout simply opened its mouth and mowed a strip of tricos down the hatch as it swam across the run.

4:45amโ€ฆmust get up if Iโ€™m to be rolling by 5:15 for the 90-minute dash out to a little tailwater thatโ€™sโ€ฆwell, within 90 minutes of home. The importance of 90 minutes is that I can get there before dawn on a weekend morning, spend about three hours fishing, and dash back, to be home by ~11:30 before my wife and kid are out of their pajamas. No wear and tear on anyone but me; no impediments to the pursuit of my hobby every month or so.
