FLY FISHING
Atlanta, Georgia
Don’t overlook the upper river
in the mountains near Helen. You can count on the thumb of your left
hand the number of major cities in the South or anywhere else in the
nation, for that matter, that have a great trout stream running through
their centers. But that’s just what the Chattahoochee brings to Atlanta,
thanks to the frigid outflow from the base of Buford Dam about 45 miles
north. The suburban ‘Hooch is the section of river that gets all the
glory, but high in its headwaters in the mountains above Helen, the
river is quite good for both wild and stocked browns and rainbows.
Species: Brown, rainbow, few brook. Angling methods: spin, bait, and
fly-fishing.

2:00pm - 7:00pm – Some groups choose

most of the trip by heading up to the Chattahoochee Friday night

wadders and poles and head towards the stream with your sack lunches.

some simple casting exercises for those not as experienced with the long
stick. Those that have a clue can walk down the private stream to engage
in some shadow casting seeking out holes filled with Rainbows.

from the spider web you created long enough to enjoy lunch along the
