Trout Fishing the most INCREDIBLE water I've ever seen!! || North Georgia Trout Pt. 1

- NORTH GEORGIA PART 1 - Georgia isn't really known for its trout fishing. However the Appalachian mountain range reaches as far south as Georgia and has some of the most beautiful water I've ever fished. North Georgia is the farthest south that trout can survive in the Southeast of America. These mountains are full of brown trout, rainbow trout, and brook trout (the only trout native to the area).
In this video we explore new creeks in search of some wild rainbow trout but struggle during a cold front. With snow falling and temperatures dropping into the 20's the fish shut down. We persevered and were able to catch a handful of trout on the fly. I hope you enjoy following along on our first ever trout fishing adventure in North Georgia!

I live in Rome and love North Georgia fishing. I will say you have to trout fish seasonally, the natural browns are beyond hard to trick. The little brooks are ab all you can get until stock. I like yall getting up stream and showing the hike in.
I know exactly where ya'll are. My childhood stomping grounds. Good fishing.
Thank you! Glad you enjoyed
Where is that
@@thomasmyers6000 north Georgia
Looking for where that is in Georgia. Looks like good fly fishing.
@@byronspencer539 Thanks for the tip.
Great video as usual. Really enjoy watching you guys in my home waters.
Good to see you in my neck of the woods for once!
It’s an awesome area!
Beautiful the Appalachian has some beautiful water with great fishing
Yes it does! Thanks for watching
So beautiful place for fishing
Thanks for the video. Great job.
Thank you for the wonderful video.
Great videos. I’m new to northern GA and can’t wait to explore some of these rivers.
y'all fishing my home waters & yes it's tough at times. thank you for giving our streams a good try. the fish are there i promise. let me know when you return. i have some streams for you to try on...
I appreciate your videos I had no idea there was such beautiful Rivers up in the mountains in North Georgia I definitely want to find some of those and fish them so I'm going to do my homework. Like you have. Thanks for your videos
Check out Rock Creek.
Oh wow thanks
Hardman i appreciate your videos. I live in upstate SC & enjoy seeing places that are near me. Awesome adventures. Keep up the good work on the videos. Love watching
Keep em coming great videos
North GA is definitely addicting country, one of my favorite places to be!
It is pretty cool!! Thanks for watching!
Hi from Calgary Canada. Thanks for the video
No criticism intended by any means. I have truly enjoyed watching you Hardman.brothers immensely! Keep the videos coming guys!!!
Thank you!!
Nothing quite like the thrill of new water. I’d say you did pretty well, considering how challenging those conditions were. That was some rugged country! Looking forward to the next installment!
New water is the best. Never know what’s around the next corner. Thanks for watching!
Superbe movie nice fishing my friend wow thanks for sharing big like big up
Doing the work to get to the fish is a major part of the reward...beautiful scenery! Great job bringing the videos to those of us who can't be there.
Those little creeks have fish in them for sure. Very rarely do you see them when not going after your fly. Winter is tough fishing up there, come up in the summer and you will have a blast!
That’s what several people have told me and is actually my plan! Maybe not summer but I’ll give it another month or two and come back in the spring. Thanks for watching!
Good to see you enjoying the beauty of the southern Appalachians
Thank you!
Fished these streams all my life. Closing in on 60 years. It’s beautiful, but it can be rugged. I love it!!
That’s definitely the truth! Thanks for watching!
I am actually headed through North Georgia....could you share what are the best streams?
@@BruleWanderer one is wild cat creek but im 5 months late sorry
Well done 👍🏻🎣
Wow that was some treacherous terrain and even though you didn’t catch many fish it was still a beautiful place and I would love to get there one day. Unfortunately I’m getting old and climbing up some of the sand hills here in Nebraska gets me worn out. Love your videos.
No way Nebraska is real ots a Cia experiment it gotta be
great vid, you guys cant get frustrated though, winter fishing for trout, im happy with 2 for the day (especially if i don't know the water). You gotta remember you're spoiled in WV, its why your channel is such a success....slow days will happen
Oh shoot we have these days in WV too, we just don’t post them 😂 not saying we aren’t spoiled with size of fish, but we definitely have bad days.
Brook trout are the only native trout to Georgia browns and rainbows are stocked beautiful video I love the north Georgia mountains … they are only about an hour and a half away from me
Exactly...
Always wanted to hit the Holston and Watauga when I lived in North Carolina but was too busy with work. Still on the bucket list. Lots of options in Western NC and Eastern TN too.
I’ll get up to those states eventually! Thanks for watching
Wow. As per usual. 👍🏻🙂 I did the conversion from Fahrenheit to Celsius and yeah that's kinda chilly alright. 😮 Hardy feckers you are. 😁
Yessir it was chilly indeed! Thanks for watching
Great video!
Thank you!
Dig the DRIVE bro ! Stay Motivated, Keep It Tight!
We do our best! Thanks for watching!
Man, you guys put so much effort into your content... I’m sure I speak for all of us subscribers when I say WE APPRECIATE IT! Awesome work, guys.
Thank you so much!!! I'm glad you and everyone else enjoys the videos so much. We do put a ton of effort in and it is nice that people recognize it!
Yes well said brother
What a great watch! One heck of an adventure and beautiful scenery.
Thank you! Glad you enjoyed
Oh yeah, I've had trips like that. Good video! Showing how to tough it out. BTW, wait till you are 56 and 50lbs heavier and try fishing those streams. Enjoyed the flick!
Hahaha fair enough! Glad you enjoyed!
Love it
Outstanding video gentlemen!! 🙌
Thank you!
Super sweet!! Great video
Thank you!!
Amazing video
"I don't see how people possibly fish this?"
Welcome to Georgia!
That is nothing compared to some almost belly-crawling wild brook trout streams.
I loved your drone video of the streams and terrain. Thanks for taking us with you. Stay safe!
Thanks for watching! Glad you enjoyed the video
This is what a regular wild water outing looks like in N.GA/Western NC....Incredibly beautiful waters, challenging terrain, tiny gems...one really has to work for the hidden wild ones. I have fished lower watersheds in NC similar here to what HFA homewater in WV looks like and never seen the likes of those giant browns ya'll are pulling out of those muddy creeks! Ya'll have got some untapped nutrient rich waters up there! Cool to see ya'll checking out the difference in local zones...Its all in the spirit of adventure though catching a fish keeps me going back.
Yep we just like exploring. We’re planning on working up the east coast and catching wild trout in each state. Should be a fun little challenge for sure. Thanks for watching!
Hey guys! I’m one of the happy 2% that is subscribed. Love the vids. T
Thank you so much!!!!!
Great content
That brookie @ 5:35 is a beast whatever you say! The natives up here in New England might be a foot or less on average. Monsters are smaller than that one! Nice fish!
That wasn't a wild brookie, that was a stocked. If it was wild it would be huge that but that was a stocker.
Loved it .. 🥰u gained a subscriber. 👍
Yeah man! it can be brutal through the North Georgia mountains but it's beautiful. Holy frick I just watched you jump that gap. Woof
Yeah that gap wasn’t fun. Especially with expensive camera equipment lol
Welcome to mountain fishing. Been at it since the 80s. Try the Tellico area on your way back up since you went right by it on the way down. Some big holdovers in there and would make a good episode. Good luck guys
Unreal scenery! Looks like something straight out of a movie! Looking to more videos in the mountains!
Thank you!! Glad you enjoyed the video!
Nice sound tracks😃
Gees! You guys had me holding my breath as you were climbing those cliffs! Beautiful scenery and a gorgeous stream. Thank you for showing me what a stream in N. Georgia looks like.
You’re welcome! And thank you for watching!
Y’all = my buddy and me last weekend. Shorter drive but 30+ years older. #whew #fishon
Fish on!!!
Your videos have been so underrated for a long time, happy to see you finally get bigger and bigger. Epic locations man, thats what i love about trout fishing!❤
Thank you so much!! Glad you’ve enjoyed the videos.
Agreed these boys deserve way more subs then they have.
Sick! I want to go next time!
I’ll shoot you an invite for sure!
Great video guys! Can't always win. The struggle can be real!
Proud North Georgia Native!
It is an awesome place!! Thank you for watching!
Love when I get notifications for HFA. Always great fishing and amazing cinematography.
Thank you!!! Glad you enjoy the videos
Got to find that place!! 😊
Respect the grind
Thank you!
Great video and trip! I love that mountain fishing! Good job!
Nice vídeo
Regards from Colombia
That’s how most of my trips go!! Lol. Do it now when you get over 50 and have 10 back surgery’s bro it’s really bad, especially when you don’t hook up!!! Love ur vids keep casting!
That’s crazy! I’m not even sure if I’d be out there after 10 back surgery’s. Keep going man! And thanks for watching
@@hardmanfishing if you get to PA or WV I can put you on fish!!! Lmk
Last 200 yards of trail is straight down! Its even more fun on the way back....
Really enjoyed watching. Thanks so much for filming your trip!
First fish was amazing, that's a big brookie! Wild and native is the real gold
I agree 100%, I’ll be back for them for sure
Truely some really fishy looking water, it a beautiful river. Deff appreciate the effort you guys put in to this video, and georgia too that's cool. As always great great video ty much can't wait to see more.
Thank you! Next one comes out on Friday, and i promise there is some fish in it. Glad you enjoyed the video!
Wow you go to the most beautiful places and fish very responsibly, bravo
Welcome to GA. Gotta want it.
You ain’t wrong!
Been watching your vids for awhile, thought I was subbed but just had to resub. Everyone make sure you’re still subbed
Thank you!!!!
Proud being born and raised in north ga
I like your B role shots
Thank you!!
Lovely nature, I wish I was there :)
Epic video! I know what those mountains feel like getting into and out of streams. I have said more than once, “I do not like this at all!” Good effort though! Look forward to part two!
I said that multiple times on this trip but I think it made it more memorable. Thanks for watching!
Dang what a grind that must have been! That looks like New Zealand not the Appalachians, what a stunning piece of water! It’s a shame you guys couldn’t catch fish but I can’t wait for the next episode, you always pull it off in the end!
It’s okay we caught some in the next episode! Thanks for watching
We have to fail . To become better..
It keeps us Humble .. Great work Guys👊
Yessir! Thanks for watching Frankie!
reee

Thank you!
What 6 people could find in this video to 👎🏽 is Way beyond me! Everything I witnessed here was exceptionally beautiful, clear clean water, deep pools & falls, so many pockets for trout to hold in. Almost identical twin to Rock Run Crick, Lycoming co. PA, which holds giant holdover browns & Rainbows. I’ve caught 16” natives here & the water temp never climbs above 60*. Tight lines guys 👍😃🇺🇸
Thank you! Glad you enjoyed the video. Haters are gonna hate
I would guess the 👎 came from dude's attitude towards the fish they caught. I've never watched these guys before....probably won't watch another one.
prob came from an abundance of north ga natives that know that wild brown trout dont exist in our waters yet this clown will swear by it
@@user-ce5bs4rj4w There are absolutely wild browns in the mountains of North Georgia lol you're just ignorant.
Welcome to North Georgia fellas! It’s not for the timid. 😂
Yep we leaned that pretty quickly 😂😂
My favorite trout fishing was in Georgia. I could hit the DH spots on the Hooch at lunch or go up and hit the blue lines around Blue Ridge or Dahlonega for wilds on weekends with more drive time. Awesome fishing and good people on NGTO
Yep north Georgia is awesome. Can’t wait to go back!
@@hardmanfishing Try camping at Cooper Creek campground and hitting the creeks around there. You will not be disappointed.
Great job y’all! Very nicely done!
Thank you!
Master fishing man, I love every place you did
I'm now subscribed
Thank you!!
Beautiful video, looks like a strenuous experience! I know you guys didnt have trouble sleeping at night! Lol. But still nothing like trying virgin waters! I know you had to work for those fish, but still was worth the trip!
You are correct! Slept like a baby. Thanks for watching!
You guys ought to get a couple wading staffs for those deep crossings, they're worth it!
Honestly didn’t know what I was getting into when I hiked into that gorge. Of course I also don’t own a wading staff... definitely something to consider. Thanks for watching!
Georgia streams are a humbling experience at times! Great vid and I hope y’all will have better luck in the next vid! If you want recommendations for streams to fish in Georgia feel free to message me.
The next vid I titled “redemption” for a reason! But I think we started to figure them out. Just took a few days out there to get a lay of the land. We’re going to be making many more trips to sort of follow up to these first 2 videos
Yes! I am actually headed through North Georgia....could you share what are the best streams?
Amazing videos guys love the environment, nice views keep it up 👍👍👍👍👍
Thank you! Glad you enjoyed
That's an awesome experience
North GA is not the farthest south trout can survive. Excellent trout fishing right down to Atlanta on the Chattahoochee.
Some of the most beautiful water in the world! But fishing N.E. Ga. can kick your ass! 🤣It's a young man's game!
Good to have some local knowledge. I've never really worked that hard for a trout. Mostly just have to weave through heavy brush.
Hello, I'm called the (Eight Rodd Banditt) 🎣 but my real name is Cory, thanks to you for the videos! 🎣
Nice brookie, beautiful scenery! Enjoy guys!
Thank you!
@@hardmanfishing reee
That is the kind of fishing I can relate to. Hard in and hard out. Much better than watching videos where people fish along side a road.
Thank you! Glad you enjoyed the video (and the struggle)
Need to come on over to the Chattooga and hit it. Been catching some nice Brookies lately
Would like to do that, Zac. Will be headed to GA soon. What are the best spots on the Chattooga??
Bruhhhh
A rock climbing video with some trout fishing 🎣.
Really though I totally applaud your effort...honestly fishing the way it is 90% of the time. You have got to go through it to get to them.
Really enjoyed Georgia Trout Pt 1, especially since I live in north GA. BTW, you referenced that first fish you caught, a decent brookie, as being a stocker. However, Georgia doesn’t stock brook trout. Maybe it crossed state lines upstream. ;)
Yeah I honestly didn’t realize that until much later. I figure most people wouldn’t know anyway 😂
Georgia does stock Brook trout. Rock creek fish hatchery
@@appalachianoutdoors3014 Exactly! It's amazing to see how many people aren't aware of that
Wild Trout in North Georgia are like Big Foots....
You mean skunk apes
Skunk apes and big foots!! But watch the next video on Friday, we catch a few big foots (or big feet?)
Wild trout all over ne ga just got to work for them
You can find them, but they are usually tiny and a good walk off the beaten path
Looks Like a normal fishing day in up here North Ga.
Jeez Louis. Up north that time of year you have to be wearing snowshoes to get to a stream
I am actually headed through North Georgia....could you share what are the best streams?
You fish the Teseendee Creek, its just about the NC state line, got monster browns
I regularly fish North Georgia and I love it, especially when I get the limit. Not the greatest trout fisher and I keep it wal mart simple. Treacherous terrain and steep climbing combined with the body's resistance to the current is the perfect recipe for soreness the next day or two. Lol
Don't worry I was sore the next day too! Thanks for watching. We have 2 more Georgia videos coming out next week if you enjoyed this one!
