Fly Fishing Georgia

Writing this book was a great experience for me personally. It was both educational and fun all along the way. So it only makes sense that my two main objectives while putting this book together were to first provide you, the reader, with enough information to help you attain some level of success at each location and second, to get you excited about fishing these spots and the state as a whole. After all, you can cast a fly to redfish along the Gulf Coast, to strong stripers in the Northeast, to lunker bass in Texas, or to beautiful trout out west. Or, you can buy one Georgia fishing license and pursue all of the above species throughout the course of one year in the Peach State.

In light of those two objectives, I burned the midnight oil many nights picking over and marking maps, learning the history and back stories of the locations, cross-referencing hatch charts with local accounts and putting all of that together as clearly and concisely as I know how. I also fished—a lot—but that was mostly during the daytime. And because I am far from being an expert on any of the featured locations, I double-checked my information with Georgia’s true experts—the experienced locals, the great guides who spend their lives on these waters, and some of the many wonderful people at the Georgia Department of Natural Resources.
