North Georgia Outdoor Fishing & Bird Hunting

Here in the scenic Blue Ridge Mountains of North Georgia, just as the morning air is crisp and the surrounding fall colors are in their full glory the great outdoors begin to really heat up.

Fly Fishing
As the water temperatures drop and the water levels begin to rise in the surrounding mountain rivers and steams the trout start to feel safe, comfortable and lower their guard for some well presented flies. North Georgia lays claim to having more trout streams than any other state in the southeast plus it's only 90 minutes from Atlanta. With such a great fishery and an abundance of water to explore, the mountains of North Georgia makes for a great stopping place for those in search of solitude and a trout stream all to themselves. Whether in the high mountain creeks or floating one of the areas big tail-waters or sitting on the bank of a local pond, spending some time fishing with a family member or friend is a great way to spend your time in Blue Ridge.

Wing Shooting
From now until the end of March it's the prime time to go wing shooting in the North Georgia mountains. Take advantage of some fantastic "Southern style" bird (quail, pheasants, chukar) hunts in a scenic mountain setting just 90 minutes from Atlanta instead of spending more money on gas for out-of-state trips. The ground cover is still thick, but manageable, and the quail covey rises are exhilarating with the added surprise of an occasional pheasant or chukar partridge. They have well trained pointers and flushers available with the Flies and Fletching guide service. Also, Dan Larose with Flies and Fletching can provide custom tailored training sessions for you and your bird dog. If it's just a refresher class to get your dog out on some birds, or a new pup beginning his career, Dan can help lead you in the right direction.
