If you think of fly fishing, you probably think of fishing in the Canadian Rockies or a clear mountain stream in the state of Maine. Georgia fly fishing changes the locale of this great past time and brings fly fishing to a state that is easier to get to and more accommodating that most other fly fishing locations. Georgia river fishing has gained in popularity as people have discovered that fishing in the headwaters of the Chattahoochee and other Appalachian streams is not only fun, but is also easily available from large urban cities such as Atlanta and Montgomery. No longer do you have to book a flight to Colorado or upstate New York. Just drive north from Atlanta and you are into some of the best fly fishing the country has to offer.

A Georgia fly fishing guide can help you navigate the river, or you can be adventuresome and find that special fishing hole yourself. If you are a novice, it is wise to take a few lessons before hitting the water because you will want to be able to pull in that big one the first time out. So, get in your car and head for the mountains. There is a nice rainbow trout or brown trout with your name on it and a place in the paper for your picture holding that trophy fish.
