Fishing Report 6/7/2019
The Etowah River is fishing well - striped bass are beginning to show up in the river, so having a couple bigger rods like 9 weights rigged up with tropical-core sinking and floating lines is crucial. We like Scientific Angler's Sink 30 Warm for sinking line, as...
Fishing Report 5/30/2019
The Etowah River is fishing well. The bass bite is fantastic right now - warmer water temperatures mean topwater fishing; boogle bugs with small crawfish (pat's rubber legs, Joe's crayfish jig) and baitfish droppers (small clousers) should work well. Gurglers, mouse,...

The Etowah River has been clearing up and fishable, when generation allows. Now that the water temperatures are peaking out in the high 60's, the bass topwater bite should be getting good. Try Boogle Bugs, Pole Dancers, and Gurglers. Don't be afraid to tie on a...

Fishing Report 5/9/19
The Etowah River below Allatoona Dam is still off color coming out of the dam. Streamer fishing for bass should be very good - fish colors that are very visible in dirty water. Flashy patterns like Kreelex's and Sparkle Minnows have been a good choice. Small Flashtail...

Fishing Report: 3/29/19
The Etowah River is currently generating around the clock until further notice, BUT Lake Allatoona is finally below full pool (-1.47 Feet). As long as we don't have another torrential downpour upstream, the river may be fish-able sooner than later. Watch for water...
Fishing Report 3/14/2019
The Toccoa Tailwater has been generating nonstop since last week. It's predicted that they will continue doing this until further notice. We drove over to some property off of Curtis Switch and the water was about 5 feet above a safe wading level. We also went to...
