Fly Fishing Crystal Clear Water for BIG Trout! (North Georgia Pt 1 of 2)

Fly Fishing The Southern Appalachian Mountains!
We finally made it back to North Georgia this past winter!! This video contains 3 days of fishing and camping in the north Georgia mountains in search of giant public water rainbow trout. The fishing was tough but we persevered and got on some awesome fish. Some of the rainbow trout were the prettiest I've ever seen and made for some fun fishing.
I hop everyone enjoys this new North Georgia Trout Fishing Video!

[@patjordan1955]

It is almost unbelievable to see this kind of quality fishing, land and streams for public use! We r so blessed! Take care of it people!!!

[@hardmanfishing]

We are definitely blessed! Now we just have to protect what we have and make sure we don't lose it

[@bigrod0069]

We sure are!

[@michaelsmith7193]

You have treated us to a wonderful variety of waters lately - Colorado, Pennsylvania and Georgia once again. All have been excellent - a sincere thanks from this viewer!

[@hardmanfishing]

I'm glad you've been liking the variety!

[@Politikn]

I’m a GA native and love the videos. The colors on GA fish are amazing. Keep on making those videos.

[@hardmanfishing]

Thanks!! Glad you enjoyed!!

[@argaoke]

beautiful place, can go there with friends. What an enchanting way of fishing

[@kozakmw88]

You have such an amazing chanel. Amazing fishing, outstanding filming and editing. You will have 1 million subs before you know it. I know every time you post a new video it will be awesome.

[@hardmanfishing]

Thank you so much!! Glad you enjoy the videos!

[@davidleimeister5027]

Beautiful everything. Water, scenery and fish. You are right on their coloring. Incredible.

[@hardmanfishing]

Doesn't get much better!

[@randyromines4506]

Beautiful fishing video of some amazing fish. Welcome to Georgia. I love it here and have lived here all my life. Nice big one at the beginning. There is so much public water here to try, over 4000 miles of trout waters. Glad you enjoy it.

[@hardmanfishing]

Yep it's an awesome area to fish!!

[@zumalot]

Beautiful scenery and water, mountain air, native rainbows, with the possibility of catching the big one. Sounds like a wonderful fishing trip to me. I've never caught a native rainbow so watching y'all land them is the next best thing. Did I mention the beautiful water? Magical.

[@evanhooper2265]

Those aren’t native they are wild

[@OlufsWaterview]

Great vid. I think anyone who had fly fished has had plenty of ‘day 3s’ . Thanks for sharing

[@CFOR-finarts]

I’m moving to Georgia from Missouri in two days I’ve found your videos to be super helpful. Beautiful fish!

[@brucekrzynowek4229]

Ive been here for a year also. Lots of adventures, and did a lot of learning in one years time.

[@waikarimoana]

Awesome water, great footage and nice video, tight lines and hello from New Zealand, Tony.

[@patjordan1955]

My gosh guys! Freaking beautiful fish! Love these series, thanks!

[@hardmanfishing]

Glad you like the series videos!!

[@tonywalkingstick8883]

Love this video. Beautiful fish and beautiful waters. Always tight lines.

[@wvlongshooter3912]

Great looking bows!!! Beautifully colored!!! I wish in the comments here I could post pics of some bows I’m catching here in Wv on some creeks that I don’t see anyone else fish. I think I saw two fisherman looking at the water one day but I’m not sure if they were fisherman. Lately the big bows have been biting, like 18-20 + bows and big numbers of catch. Because of the spawn I’m not targeting these bigger fish right now but I’m catching plenty of nice rainbows. I’m up to nine different creeks now like this and that’s not tribs of each other. It’s crazy !!!! Thanks for such a great video!!! Thanks

[@royalwolfflyfishing15]

Epic!! The fish, the scenery, just awesome. Cheers from Australia. Tight Lines

[@markhaven5638]

For me even a 10” wild bow in GA is a trophy. I love fishing for wild trout but in GA for bows it seems to be 4 - 6” is standard, I’ve only caught decent sized wild trout in NC. Would love to know what kind of water to look for, the only tip I got was spawning fish moving upstream which would suggest moving up from a lake. Unbelievable job, finding this stream and fishing it. This is way way way better than the typical GA wild trout water.

[@llamabanduio5668]

Truly enjoying your channel. Warm regards from the middle of the world in Quito, Ecuador! :)

[@FirstCastMedia]

Great job as always guys!!

[@larryhudson4511]

When I lived in North Georgia I liked the fishing better than when I was in Colorado. Love the drone!

[@hardmanfishing]

That's a bold statement Larry! Glad you liked the drone shots

[@larryhudson4511]

@@hardmanfishing if u remember my best friends job for the state of Colorado was testing trout stream quality. I've had the opportunity to work for extended periods all over the country. I learned a lot of stuff repeatedly fishing the same stream for months.

[@shayler1219]

So beautiful!

[@WildBlueDiscovery]

Troutmobile...!! I like it! Good video! Tightlines!

[@hardmanfishing]

Thank you!!

[@OHCreekFishing]

Some of those rainbows are looking big like Great Lakes steelhead… congrats man and tight lines!

[@peterwang4696]

awesome, thanks for sharing.

[@aqmalnas]

Greeting for malaysia. Loving the video quality ? Hopefully one day i get the chance to fish there.

[@3422dave]

New subscriber looks like the blue ridge area love the coopers creek area

[@jshada58]

Another amazing job. Even though the fish were not huge they were spectacular. I always look forward to your videos. Is there any way you could help us newbies by telling us about your setup and the flies you are using ? Much appreciated.

[@TroutWest]

Heard good things about North Georgia. Pretty nice size for those creeks. Good color too. Ya'll need to come out west. Blow you away.

[@hardmanfishing]

We've been out west several times! Andrew actually recently moved out there.

[@geerfamilyoutdoorjournal4622]

Great video. You just gave me goals. I strive for videos like that. Nice job pal. Beautiful fish also. You just put northern GA on my list.

[@hardmanfishing]

Thanks for the kind words and I'm glad you enjoyed!

[@appleseeD552]

PROPS on the vid.🙂👍 That LUNKER Andrew caught? DAMN nice fish!🤯 Totally appreciate the effort on makin this and lookin forward to the next installment bro. The fish and scenery are BLOODY STUNNING! Keep em comin my friend and as always...Peace.✌😎

[@hardmanfishing]

I'll do my best!! Thanks for watching John

[@arnoldzilban8274]

These fish are gorgeous... and also curiously, the rainbows caught still show/retain their parr markings even into adulthood? I wonder why that is? The only adult trout/salmonids having their parr markings into adulthood are cherry trout of Japan. I would investigate.., is it a genetic variation of rainbows in that stream, is it the water itself or is it Georgia peaches and Vidalia onions?

[@13jonnyray]

Good stuff. This will be a cool little series

[@american_chevy616]

My neck of the woods. Gods Country

[@ryancoleman1]

does that trib flow into a larger main stream? just curious because it absolutely must If there are big spawning bows in it up from a lake or larger trib doing their thing. this is exactly how I catch large wild browns and wild bows specifically here in western New york. lots of good trib fishing and lots of big WILD fish!

[@TheLymanDiamond]

Great video y’all.

[@BryceK60]

Man what a life my friend. Beautiful trout love seeing the beautiful trout from state to state awesome vid. How is Andrew like king colorado

[@hardmanfishing]

Andrew is dealing with a lot of runoff right now!! But I'm sure you'll see some videos from him here before too long

[@DownstreamDownrange]

dope video bro....anything besides walking in the river itself looks tough!

[@hardmanfishing]

Thanks man!

[@steveg6978]

Must be pretty remote, good looking Fish, Come to the Upper Peninsula sometime ;)

[@RSdd11]

Luckily there are still some great wild trout places in that area. In the last couple decades there have been too many pay to play pellet fed operations popping up.

[@isaachall9126]

So these trout are coming up these creeks to spawn, would these size trout always be in these creeks or would they migrate lower to bigger rivers and then head higher up?

[@vickvinegar5071]

Dude these fish are nuts.

[@hardmanfishing]

They're seriously insane

[@FishingWithDamon]

🔥 video gotta love trout fishing the scenery and those beautiful trout! I just uploaded some trout fishing videos they were a blast to make cannot seem to find anyone else that’s 16 and interested in fishing as much as me!!!!!

[@andikarizki]

Fishing greetings 👍

[@SouthernAppalachiaboiz]

Let’ssssss Gooooooo repping for the home state of GA

[@rweshall919]

As a mountaineer myself chasing smallmouth in the eastern panhandle I NEED to know where you got that hat you wore on day two!!! Please!!!

[@johncreen5957]

Great video, beautiful fishing, Do you not have a closed season to let fish rest and spawn? Here in Ireland fishing ends last day in October to 1st March, keep up the great fishing, tight lines lads

[@hardmanfishing]

Not typically! In the US the fisheries are managed by the states. So each state has their own laws, so some may close fishing for a brief time and others don't.

[@DB-iu8yl]

Do a review of your car camping setup. I think there would be a good bit of your viewers that would like to see how you do things.

[@hardmanfishing]

I'm still working through them myself. But it is my favorite way to camp at the moment! I can definitley throw something together

[@paulbmurphy]

Great film, beautiful fish! How are you fishing your nymphs? Are you using an indicator or coloured leader to indicate takes? Or is the water so clear that you are able to do it by sight?

[@hardmanfishing]

Using a colored leader!

[@tgsfishing5979]

Awesome video

[@hardmanfishing]

Thank you!

[@teamlosi11]

Yesss!!!

[@wbrady8208]

this is so pretty

[@baseball4748]

Who makes your euro rod and reel? And do you like it? Looks really nice.

[@alexanderhart4693]

Looks like a stream that feeds into the Chestatee.

[@DylanWOWilliams]

“Because of snow and subzero temperatures”. Meanwhile in north Idaho we’re snowshoeing to our fishing spots.

[@jimgollach6202]

Oh yeah, we all have those not so good days, but it's better than being in the office. North Georgia sure has some pretty country. Enjoyed the video. Tight lines. 👍

[@hardmanfishing]

No doubt!! Thanks for watching

[@matthewjordan8452]

You can trout a little farther south I lived in Atlanta for a decade and used to fly fish for huge browns and stocked rainbow out of the chatt and see the sky line about 3 miles away from downtown Atlanta

[@RoeBash]

Probably just up/down river NCF fish. Fish in a barrel with pellet food fly, basically brown pom-pom on a hook

[@Charsept]

I live in Atlanta and want to get up there to fish. Is this on the Blue Ridge side or more on the Hiawassee side? I know better than up ask for specifics 😅

[@Bypassingnormal]

I hope I stumbled onto a undiscovered page 1k views seems so low for this content. I got that trout fever on my last trip up north from south Florida did Tennessee Kentucky Georgia and didn’t catch not one fish. Spent most of my time watching definitely didn’t have the right presentations everything I tossed was to big. That 4wt is on the way 🤙🏾

[@brianmoeller6839]

Dukes Creek?

[@caleb51748]

👍

[@MBYDASH]

What brand line are you using ?

[@daltonrobinson3331]

I love in north ga pls tell me where these creeks ate

[@daltonrobinson3331]

I live in north ga please tell me where the creeks and rivers located at

[@ezraadams8357]

[@randyromines4506]

He never tells, can't blame him, though. Looked kinda like the Tulullah River.

[@EB_edit]

What fly are you using

[@lukebouwman7271]

WE NEED UPDATES FROM THE TROUT MOBILE!!!

[@hardmanfishing]

I'll do my best to start throwing them in the videos!!

[@lukebouwman6843]

thanks!😂

[@bengibson2383]

What length and size rod are you using here?

[@hardmanfishing]

Mostly my 10 foot Euro Nymphing rod

[@petertanis5500]

First

[@sanjugurung]

Only rainbow fish ?

[@snoopy-doo8680]

Where exactly is this stream, and what is it called?

[@monmixer]

yea, that net isn't close to what it needs to be. 2 sizes up

[@alexanderdragomirov7051]

What is the main camera you use!!

[@hardmanfishing]

I recently got a new one.. but in this video I was mostly using a Panasonic Lumix G9

[@chazsklenar4815]

Great video but orange jacket dude needs to work on his net job. Almost lost ya’ll that fish like 3 times

[@calebholloway1993]

I’m from blue ridge Georgia go check out coopers creek

[@leticiaweidenhamer6258]

Where is this

[@jadentha1090]

Where did you guys start at. I know you mentioned the southern point but do you have the name of the creek/river.

[@droid9959]

Yall need a new net

[@benpyeatt9986]

Dude I live in north Ga and I have to ask.... how do I get to that stream??? What stream is that and where did you guys put in?

[@jasonehredt968]

Definitely the wrong net for a big trout hunt!

[@hardmanfishing]

No doubt!!

[@dillonrobinson6802]

What stream are you fishing I live in nc ?

[@mbaker24]

Really painful watching that guy try to net

[@spotemshotemboys8163]

Awesome vid man 💪🏾, would love for you to check out my fishing content 😃 tight lines brotha 🎣

[@scottwinfrey5436]
