The Importance of Having a Good Time
For our annual staff trip this year, we closed the shop for a couple of days and loaded up Andy’s truck with rods and duffle bags and beer; Cartersville was in the rearview, boat in tow. To I-75, gas station fried chicken, I-16, then past the Chevron gas...
Etowah River Fishing Report 9/3/2018
Striper Fishing is pretty much done until the water temps drop. Temps are spiking up into the low 80s at the dam and fish are in survival mode right now so we do not suggest fishing for them until water comes back down into the 70s. Bass Fishing on the other hand is...

Not much has changed this week for the striped fish, water continues to swing between 75-80 degrees making the morning and evening the best time to get out. Flows are good and the visibility is too, the USACE is usually running water from noon to around 8 and not...
Gear Review: Rio InTouch Single Hand Spey

The Etowah is blown out from all the rain this week and near constant generation from Allatoona dam has the river unfishable. Once the river gets back to normal the fishing will go back to will be business as usual. Striper fishing is good and the fish are still in...
When things come together on the Flats
If you have ever spent much time sight fishing on the flats whether it be for Tarpon, Bonefish, Redfish or Permit, then you have spent a lot of time starring at the water sometimes while your shirt is about to be blown off your back. Staying focused, managing your fly...
Etowah River Fishing Report 7/23/2018
It feels like the same old song and dance this week. Rain early in the week has blown out the river but a few days of the US Army Corps releasing water from Allatoona Dam has got things right! Striper fishing is good as we approach the full moon this week and the fish...
Coosa Bass – Georgia’s other Brook Trout
Summertime in North Georgia brings warming water temperatures to the point that many of our trout streams become un-fishable. Luckily for us, our waters in Georgia aren’t limited to trout - warmwater species such as bream, bass, and striper populate our waters and...
Etowah River Fishing Report 7/16/2018
Nothing has changed this week from last, The Etowah is stained from the recent rain and will probably be tough for the next few days so look for the water to be clearing up and the fishing to improve hopefully by mid week. The longer generations should help flush...
