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...

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...

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 is clear and fishing great! May is one of the best times to be on the Etowah with a mixed bag of fish being caught. Large spotted bass are being found on a variety of methods, streamer fishing with small to medium flies like Clousers are working well...

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...

The Etowah River below Allatoona Dam is currently off-color coming out of the dam. Don't let the color scare you off - there is enough visibility to fish if you're willing to work a little harder. Water temperatures are holding in the low to mid 60's, so bass will be...
