    Georgia actually has a pretty stellar reputation for trout fishing in the south…along with TN and NC. Some true trophy rivers for sure, especially the Soque. Great video 👍🏼

    North Georgia is one of America's last best kept secrets. The mountains are wild with very little heavy industry (unlike West Virginia and Kentucky). The forests are so lush that in the summer it almost looks like Costa Rica with very low forest fire risk (unlike forests out west). The mountains are big enough to have great vistas and waterfalls, but not so big that you have to drive around them to get anywhere. The population is still fairly low, the crime is low, and if you hate winter, North Georgia Mountains have the mildest winters of any mountains in the eastern United States. Down by Ellijay and Blue Ridge, the average high in the middle of winter is still about 50 degrees, with just a few inches of snow a year. The area also has TONS of small creeks with clear clean water cascading, great hiking trails, and great state parks. All that, plus some parts of North Georgia Mountains are only about 75 minutes from Atlanta airport which will take you anywhere in the world easily. I challenge anyone to find a place in America right now that gives you more of a great environment for a lower housing and tax costs. I've lived in California, the Northeast, and Texas, and I got to say, this area offers so much for a reasonable cost. A great place for nature lovers on a budget to enjoy a GREAT lifestyle.

I bought a Ross reel with a 9ft st croix rod and took a few casting lessons. Never looked back at spin casting. Im hooked on the fly fishing culture. I watch your videos to keep learning. Thank you and keep them coming. Great to have friends with you in the back country. John in Pagosa Springs, Colorado.

    Dope, catching a ton of small rainbows is how the creek fishing go, the scenery and experience is a trophy in and of itself. Out of some skinny water in NC right near the GA state line when I was on vacation last year I caught toooons of small rainbows, I lost count it must’ve been well over a hundred in a few days, and I caught a HUGE brown trout in water I’d never think to catch a monster. It even qualified for a “trophy” fish with its weight and length. Even though I’m a big catch and release guy with trout I definitely kept it in the freezer to mount and a handful of larger ones to eat. As a guy from N FL the trout fishing is a truly unique experience completely different from the salt water and freshwater fishing here and I can hardly wait to get back.

    @hardmanfishing, I am from GA. There's a place not far from where you shot this where there is a large hole with a single brown trout, 18"-20". If you're local you know that fish like that are not a thing in our small freestone creeks. I have seen it multiple times. It would bring me so much joy to bring you there and watch you dead drift a streamer and see if maybe that fish could get the Jon-classic, "GOD BLESS".

      I really recommend getting a 9ft 5wt, they are a very versatile rod. If you want to throw an occasional streamer I would definitely recommend it for the backbone it has.

      Honestly both of the replies answered the question pretty well. If you use a 4 wt throw smaller streamers or you'll probably break the rod. I wouldn't use anything under a 5 wt personally, and I don't even use that much anymore.

    Looks like a great trip! What fly rod is that? I'm heading to the Cartecay River next month, and am trying to catch my first rainbow out there. Are you familiar with the area?

    Try northfork river in yellville Arkansas. Fish have to be 24in or better before you can keep them. Enough said I am a GA boy. It blew me away to put back 2 23 in browns

    Nice creek, big enough to hold lunkers. Of course trhey can survive in some of the smallest streams. You never know what Mother Nature might serve you up in a day.

    Amazing fishing and an amazing stream.... If I had to guess, based on the fact that these trout all have wild characteristics, but are mostly of a similar size, I would wager that the quality of this stream is based on a very successful fingerling stocking program.
