More on Fly Fishing for Trout in Blue Ridge

Several emails about fly fishing for trout in the North Georgia mountains, so I'm posting a photo of a guy from Chicago who landed a monster trout in Blue Ridge, GA along with his guide from Flies and Fletching. This is another testament to the productive trout rivers and streams of Blue Ridge, GA just 90 minutes from Atlanta. Many folks fly fish for trout below the Lake Blue Ridge dam (Toccoa tailwater), the upper Toccoa near Shallowford bridge (off Aska Road), Noontootla Creek (lots of trees so practice your roll casts) that feeds into the Toccoa, and Stanley Creek that feeds into the Toccoa from the Rich Mountain wilderness area.

Also, there are several North Georgia rental cabins in Blue Ridge that are on the lower Toccoa river, so you can trout fish from the banks of your cabin. Here's a picture of the Toccoa Overlook cabin that's available to rent for your next Blue Ridge vacation adventure.

The Blue Ridge, Georgia and its surrounding mountain towns offer some great scenic rides and twisties for all motorcycle enthusiasts.

Most bikers start at the intersection of US 76 and Hwy 5 in Blue Ridge Georgia and head east toward Blairsville, Georgia.
