Fly Fishing the Chattahoochee Tailwater with Macy Watkins

[@therivergiveth]

Man I'd give anything to see the hooch and fish for shoal bass before Lanier construction.

[@wildbearings]

right! but you know there are still areas for that... we don't really do that, but you know it would be a blast...

[@JohnathanAulabaugh]

Headed up this week. Between the fall foliage starting to kick in and the fishing I cant wait

[@wildbearings]

Have a great trip!

[@JohnathanAulabaugh]

@@wildbearings I am planning to. Being in FL, while the fish are plentiful, it is IMO boring as hell. I grew up fishing streams but have not cast a line in several years.

[@gregjr63]

Did you end up catching anything?

[@JohnathanAulabaugh]

@@gregjr63 I caught 1 nice keeper right off the batt and realized I forgot a stringer. Lol It happened so quick I figured I would let it go and get my stringer then catch more.. never had another bite lol

[@Irideus]

Enjoyed this~~~~~~~~~~~~~~tight lines

[@johnconklin5180]

I’ve caught trout in Lake Lanier.

[@wildbearings]

Yeah they can exist if those ole stripers don't find them first... thanks for the feedback

[@johnmac4769]

Have you guys ever fished Jacks River or The Taccoma River in North Georgia? Love your posts.

[@wildbearings]

Absolutely at least once a year for Jacks and we fish Toccoa tail water quite a bit… love the Jacks thanks

[@alanjohnmilomartin]

What flies were you using besides the moonshine midge?

[@wildbearings]

Big T MacDaddy dry and it started raining so used #20 jig BWO and then olive orange collar perdigon… hope that helps thanks for the question

I fish that stretch often. I've had good success this summer with a stimulator/ bead head simulator.

[@wildbearings]

Nice great feedback thanks for sharing… hadn’t thought about Stimulator perfect approach

Wow, thanks for tip on a PFD. Honestly, it's probably just a good idea fishing any big water - especially tailwaters. Also, I pity the fool that doesn't have a wading stick. I've never met a person who stopped using one. Macy, I loved what you said about leaving the water with regrets being what brings you back. That definitely resonate with me.

[@wildbearings]

exactly... that wading stick has saved me more than once!
