I enjoy fly fishing in the cold North Georgia Mountain streams for Brown Trout, Rainbow Trout, and native Eastern Brook Trout the most.  I’ve also been known to take to kayak or boat and go after warm water species in area lakes. Fishing is another great way to enjoy the outdoors, so I thought I’d share some resources here and some pictures!
