Well after almost two months of no rain we are finally getting some relief and some much needed flows on small streams. Conner from the shop just returned from fishing the Nantahala DH section and said it was great, flies were pink eggs and San Juan worms. As our Georgia DH approaches November 1st, I encourage eveyone to get out and enjoy some good fishing opportunities. Also, Lake Allatoona’s topwater bite should be improving soon with cooler temp’s on the way. Hopefully it will get the hybrids and stripers as excited about eating as I am about catching them. Last but certainly not least I have to inform you of my partner’s new hobby! Charlie Butler at age 61 has decided to take up SKYDIVING! He evidently has reached a point in life where catching fish just doesn’t get the adrenaline flowing as in the past!  I really like airplanes, but not sure I’m ready to bail out of one anytime soon. Come by and visit us at Cohutta Fishing Company for all you Fishing, Outfitting, and Skydiving needs! Until next time Tight Lines and Great  Fishing to you all!

My family and I just returned from a great trip to Montana. We flew into Missoula and I fished with Dan Sheppard co owner of Grizzly Hackle Fly Shop, Dan and I fished the Bitteroot and had a great day, my best fish was my first fish of the day, a 19 inch brown. After fishing we headed up to Whitefish where we spent the night and toured Glacier National Park the next day. We worked our way back south towards the Flathead area and stayed outside Ovando.  My wife and I fished the Blackfoot and had a awesome day! Of course my wife caught more fish than me which added to our perfect day of fishing with guide Kurt Long from Grizzly Hackle. By the way, if anyone is heading out to Missoula please stop by the Hackle, those guys are very helpful and knowledgeable, and there guides are some of the best in the business.  Anyway, all in all we had a great trip, now we are looking for our local Georgia waters to improve. We have survived one of the hottest summers in history and getting excited about cooler weather and better fishing. We should be getting some early morning and late evening action on the lake for hybrids and stripers, it has been pretty good but should only improve this fall. Come on by the shop and check our new clothing line from Simms and Patagonia!

Tight Lines,
