East Fork of the Chattooga River...FISH ON!



Rainbow
My Beautiful Girlfriend's first Brookie
Today my girlfriend and I had a great day on the East Fork of the Chattooga River. We caught six brook trout and one rainbow.We only successfully landed two on the fly, with my girlfriend landing one of them! I didn't see many trout rising to the dry fly, but occasionally they would rise..give it a look...then forget about it. Then we switched over to powerbait and corn...the oldest trick in the book. I caught a decent sized rainbow with this method. We could not have asked for a more beautiful day! On a different note we found time to visit the hatchery and check out some of the trophy fish! Kristen found it very entertaining to feed them, and I admit...so did I!
