Fly Fishing in North Georgia, deep in the Southern Appalachians is better than you think in the middle of a hot summer as long as creek water levels do not drop to much. One strategy taken by a veteran fly caster of the back woods creeks is to tie flies during the heat of the day then go fish when it cools off. Here you see some of the steps in tying a Prince Nymph, a champion of a wet fly in these parts.

This is yours truly, AskaGuide, displaying what me and my fly fishing mentor, Malcolm, decided to harvest from the Toccoa headwaters for dinner recently. These Rainbows are between 13 and 14 inches each, caught on dry flies. To hire me as a personal guide to increase your chance to catch trout like this near Blue Ridge, GA, simply email me. A fresh caught grill specialty is Rosemary Rainbow with New York Strip or as I like to call it: Whitewater and Black Angus.

If you are an up and coming fly caster with an eye toward some day getting your Fly Casting Instructor certification, you can study for the written portion of the exam on your Windows computer with my Certified Fly Casting Instructor Exam Simulator software. I have other cert exam sims for Project Management Professional (PMP), Enrolled Agent (EA), and IT certs: Network/IT Tech , Java , PHP , Oracle, and Business Objects/Crystal Reports.

A fresh water tuna? Noooo, a creek Rainbow taken on a hand tyed nymph near Aska Adventure Area, Blue Ridge, GA. It weighed almost six pounds, and jumped about double it's 18 inch length after I set the hook.

Some may argue that a fish like this should be thrown back, but I was hungry for barbequed trout. So at about 2:30 on a Saturday afternoon, I stuffed the gutted cavity of this nice sized Toccoa River Rainbow and put it over charcoals for about a half hour, then opened a nice Riesling and had a superb supper.
