The Toccoa Tailwater is still a little off color downstream from the creeks running in, but not unfishable; Tammen park and the dam are clear. I would focus on subsurface presentations: stonefly nymphs (Pat's RL, Double Bead Stone), Caddis larva/pupae (Holy Grails,...

The Toccoa Tailwater is going to be fishing very good very soon. Turnover water has passed, water has cleared at the dam, and water temperatures are dropping to conducive levels. We've received a good bit of rain this week, so the river may blow out this weekend, but...

The Etowah River is fishing well. The topwater bite on the river is getting very good, and this window may not last long, so come armed with a 5-7 weight with floating line and some Boogle Bugs, swim frogs, Pole Dancers, and Flat Freds. We're keeping some streamers on...

The Etowah River is starting to pick back up as the air and water cools. The popper bite should be very good for the next couple of weeks. I like to take a handful of boogle bugs and a 5 or 6 weight out and if the popper bite doesn't cooperate, I'll fish some streamer...

The Etowah River is still hot. The switch should flip any day now - water temperatures should start to drop with the air temperature. When this happens, the  bass bite on the river should be very good. I recommend throwing topwater poppers and swim frogs early and...

The Etowah River is fishing okay when conditions allow. Water temperatures out of the dam are peaking at 82 degrees. Keep an eye on the USGS gauges - if the temperature drops, we're going to be looking at some very good bass fishing in the river. If you're headed out...

The Etowah River is hit or miss. We're seeing water temperatures in the low 80's coming out of the dam, so get out there early or late and throw some topwater for bass. I like boogle bugs, swim frogs, and pole dancers, but it's a dealer's choice out there. Watch the...

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...
