NORTH GEORGIA PART 3 - 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 found some gorgeous wild brown trout! We streamer fished some ultra clear water which is something we don't normally do. The fish cooperated and we caught some awesome fish, something I wasn't expecting after our first time fishing the river. Hopefully you enjoy the video and enjoy the beauty that the Southern Appalachian Mountains have to offer!
I hope you guys enjoyed! Don't forget to like, comment, and subscribe!

Thanks for not naming streams in your videos. I know this river, and this is the best video that I've seen about it.

A lot of serious fly fisherman use that same phrase “It’s just another stocked rainbow”. North GA is full of them. Love wild browns, brookies, & rainbows. Holdovers with good color are just fine too.

@trouttrailfishin 6 месяцев назад

GA has a wonderful wild trout system. Albeit a small one compared to most trout producing states. As you stated its known mostly for stocker fishing. Or locally as stock truck chasing. Unfortunately, that's the way our state promotes it and regulates it. That's why there are so many privatized streams. It's the only way to properly regulate. I wish we could get more push back from anglers to our DNR to change the regs and add more CnR streams, lower daily limits, put size limits in. They just refuse to. The best wild/native streams require 2 mile plus hikes. Thank you for not naming this stream. That's a huge issue among us here. We've seen wild streams decimated by those pulling out 8 plus daily. Imaging a group like yourself camping 2-3 days keeping 8 each per day. Then factor in the poaching. It's sad.

@BryceK60 3 года назад

Beautiful browns beautiful river so clear. Have to sneak up on those clear waters fish will be looking right back at you lol. We are expecting 1 to 2 feet of snow where I'm at in colorado and mountains I've heard 5 to 8 feet plum crazy. No fishing here

Loved the video man, some awesome catches. Your videos are getting me excited for our fishing season here in Nova Scotia Canada, opening day is April first, but by the looks of our rivers here and weather doesn’t look like I’ll be fly fishing cause our waters are still ice, hopefully we get some nice weather before then to melt the ice. Keep up the awesome content, look forward to more!!

@hardmanfishing 3 года назад

Thank you!! We didn't even get good weather until about the last week or so, but now it is raining so much that the waters are running pretty high for the time of year. I hope you can get out and do some fishing on opening day! Good luck out there!

@clanrobertson7200 3 года назад

Chance Lays, I am 73 and have done most of my 50 years of trout fishing in north Georgia and it is beautiful country, but you know that old saying that “the grass is always greener on the other side of the hill”, I have always wanted to fish your neck of the woods. Especially the fall when the Atlantic Salmon Run. I have seen some amazing fishing pictures. Good luck from down south!

Amazing video, makes me a little more excited to move from MT to GA next week. So these are public waters?

@TheXeniaman 3 года назад

A real pleasure to watch. Amazing to me that streams that far south stay cool enough in summer to support wild browns. Spring fed from ground water?

@hardmanfishing 3 года назад

Actually a lot of these creeks are pretty high elevation, or at least drain from mountains that are. Also if you've ever been to the southern Appalachians the creeks look like jungles with tons of twisted mountain laurel and rhododendron on them. Honestly I don't think the sun ever hits some of those creeks which helps keep them cool in the hot Georgia summers. I'm not sure if these creeks are spring fed or not honestly.

You killed it! Glad you got on em! Beautiful water and video!! You showed the streamer, what’s ur leader set up? Rod weight? I may play with the streamers this year.. thanks

@hardmanfishing 3 года назад

I went simple on this trip. I just went with around 6 feet of 0x fluorocarbon tippet from the fly line to the fly. The rod I was using was actually an 8 wt which was overkill for most of the fish I caught, but if I had hooked a really big one I would've needed it. My brother was using a 5 wt and it was more appropriate for the fish in the area honestly. Thanks for watching!

@leosperry4911 3 года назад

Awesome video man! In the future maybe add some more music to keep the flow going? Keep it up!

@hardmanfishing 3 года назад

I thought about it but then people complain because they like the sound of the creeks/rivers and inevitably someone won't like the music. I try to keep a balance as I go. Anyway thanks for watching!

@tony52398 3 года назад

Honest question, it seems to me that it would be much easier to fish a fluke or hard jerbait, and I think the action etc on a fluke is better than a streamer, what are the advantages to a streamer here?

@hardmanfishing 3 года назад

I don't necessarily use a streamer because it is the best option, I do it because I enjoy the challenge. I personally like the idea of doing something that most people can't. I mean why not just use live bait? That is the absolute best option, we could catch every fish in the river lol my point being that a fluke is of course going to be easier but I've already caught big fish on a spinning rod and have nothing to prove to myself. So I choose to make it harder. Hope this answers your question!! Thanks for watching

@tony52398 3 года назад

@@hardmanfishing Man I really appreciate your answer. I understand the idea of a challenge. I started jiu jitsu at 42 for that reason. I think the difference is I only get to hit the streams a handful of days a year and haven’t gotten tired of catching fish in less challenging ways. If I could fish as much as you do I could understand wanting more of a challenge.

@hardmanfishing 3 года назад

Yessir! And I understand that 100%. If I could only fish a handful of days a year I probably wouldn’t fly fish period. Especially if I hadn’t already learned how to do it.

@wascalywabbit 3 года назад

I'm just throwing this out there... I'm guessing you travel to different destinations.. Do you get a hotel? Do you camp near the areas? What is your average stay time? And.. Yes.. This is very nosey.. What's the average cost of your stays? My reason... I have a 8x20 cabin (basic) sink.. Shower.. Stove. Electric...out house.. on a well known WV creek/river for its musky fishing..off the ohio river. Im trying to calculate a fair price for what it is and possibly airbnb it to anglers.. And yes.. Profit from it a bit,the airbnb RU-vid gurus say see what the competition pays.. But i can't find any...😕.Boat Ramp is Few miles down the rd.. Putting in dock this summer... Your input is appreciated

@hardmanfishing 3 года назад

I usually camp to save money, and camping is free or nearly free in most places. I personally am not very rich so if I'm staying in a hotel or something similar I wouldn't pay more than $100 a night and even that is too much. If I were you I'd look at popular locations for anglers such as the white river in Arkansas or out west somewhere and then compare that to your local hotels/air bnb's. Some areas are naturally more expensive than others so they demand higher prices.

Because you are fishing public water why not give the name of the stream - not access points but the name would be helpful for folks that are just getting started fly fishing. Enjoy your videos, inspires me to keep learning and trying.

Because there aren't very many streams like this in GA. Also, since there aren't that many streams like this in GA, you may be able to figure it out.

@gladegoodrich2297 2 года назад

When the Mormons arrived in Utah the only native trout were Bonneville cutthroat. Over the years rainbows, browns and brook trout were introduced and gradually displaced the native Bonnevilles. Last year the Utah DNR decided to kill all non native fish on Cedar mountain and plant only cutthroats. Sad to see all the beautiful browns and brookies in our private lake floating belly up dead. Trying to figure out why would you kill the hardy survivors and replant the weak non survivors?

@dogsoldier7779 2 года назад

I’ve spent enough trying the private water North GA has around every bend. They’re full of huge trout, pellet fed swarms of silver rainbows with minimal spots. The pics on social media & online will lure you into wanting to try Private Water in N GA. Take it from someone who’s made the mistake multiple times wasting $$ on N GA Private Water, Just Don’t. You’ll be disappointed, it’s not the action you think it is.
