Chattooga River
Tip of the week:
Techniques:
Double nymph rigs. Big attracting fly with small pheasant tail / hares ear / nymph following.
Use a heavy fly as your bottom fly and try lighter weighted or unweighted flies above. Connection can be made by leaving a tag end longer at your leader to tippet connection. Make your tag ends no longer than 2-3 inches to avoid tangles.
Seven-day forecast:
Get out early and fish while the water is cool. Nymph rigs and dry dropper set ups will work best. Terrestrials will be out soon!
