Blue Ridge, GA public water hike-in spot and we found some giants! Sight fishing in gin clear water!

We set off on a spur of the moment trip to hike into some public water we were wanting to hit. We had a plan to walk some of the higher banks for a good vantage and peer off into some of the long clear slicks and tailouts of some deep the deeper pools and runs we knew about. As we began our journey we found what we were looking for. We knew it was going to take some sneaky tactics so we tied long leaders, small tippet, and tiny flies in hopes of not spooking the fish and blowing the opportunity at hand. As we expected the fish were pretty finicky, but the setup we had seemed to be the ticket we were able to cast to the fish make some drifts, and not blow them out of the hole. After a few fly changes and a few different presentations, we cracked the code. Fly fishing public waters anywhere can be tough, but especially in some of the areas in North Georgia where there is a lot of pressure. If you are willing to do some walking, slow down, and take your time you can still find some nice fish. Once you have found them you just have to be patient and also be willing to adapt and change your setups, strategy, and approach if you can do that you will find success. Another fun adventure in the mountains of Blue Ridge, Georgia with KC Outfitters.
