The Etowah River is fishing well. We're targeting bass with topwater poppers and frog patterns in the mornings and evenings with success: boogle bugs, swim frogs/baitfish, crease flies, and pole dancers are all excellent choices. Streamers imitating baitfish also will...

The Etowah is fishing well for bass, but striper fishing is pretty much done for the year. Target bass with topwater flies like boogle bugs and swim frogs early and late in the day. If you're willing to brave the midday heat, streamers imitating shad/baitfish will...

We’re going to sound like a broken record for the foreseeable future – water temperatures everywhere are pretty warm midday and we’re just waiting for a change in the weather. Fall is around the corner! If you’re about to prep for fall fishing, come by the shop, bring...

Not much has changed this week compared to last week so if we sound like a broken record there's a reason. Not much will change until we get a break in the warm weather but fall is just around the corner! The Etowah River is fishing well - the bass bite is still...

The Etowah River is fishing well - the bass bite is fantastic right now. We like to throw Boogle Bugs on 5 and 6 weights this time of year, but will also break out the 7/8 weight rods to throw big topwater flies imitating anything from baitfish to frogs to mice...

The Etowah River is still fishing well - we're on the back end of the striper season right now. We should have fish through the month, but the bite will slowly decline into September. The bass bite is fantastic right now and should stay good through the next few...

The Etowah River should clear enough to have decent visibility by the weekend, but the heavy rain from this past weekend is still lingering. The predicted forecast for the next 7 days shows little to no precipitation until mid next week, so don't let the water color...

The Etowah River should fish well this weekend. The water is still a good color despite this week's rain, and the 7 day forecast is showing very little precipitation. I would probably bring a 5 or 6 weight rigged for spotted bass (Boogle Bugs, Cohen's Jiggy Craw,...

Etowah River: The popper bite for bass is on! Boogle Bugs in Olive, Yellow, Chartreuse, and Fire Frog will all produce well, but all of us at the shop have our own favorite color. Use heavier diameter 0x leaders to the fly to prevent line twist. I like to drop a fly...

Walking into a store and seeing a large sunglass display can make things complicated. We carry both Smith Optics and Costa Del Mar Sunglasses in a variety of frames and lenses, and knowing which is right choice for what you're doing can be daunting, so I'll try to...

The Etowah River has been a little off color from the rains this past week but should be back to normal this weekend. If you're looking to bass fish, the popper bite should be good to great - I would probably throw an Olive or Chartreuse Boogle Bug first and then keep...
