Unbeknownst to much of the country, the variety and the quality of fly fishing in West Georgia and East Alabama is some of the best in the country. It is a year-round fishery less than an hour from the Atlanta airport.

Stripers on the Chattahoochee River

In days gone by, stripers were native to this river. The dams have stopped their migration from salt water, but they have been stocked in many of the lakes dot the river from Atlanta to the coast. While they are often caught in these large lakes, many of the stripers and hybrid stripers choose to live upstream of the lakes in the rocky shoals of the river itself. They are there year-round - the best fishing is probably in the winter, but we even catch `em in the heat of the summer.  Learn more about catching stripers on Georgia's Chattahoochee River...

Shoal Bass on the Flint River 

The Flint is a truly unique river, especially considering that it is relatively unknown. Its rocky shoals are home to species that is quite unique, the shoal bass.

Found only in a few river drainages in this area, the shoalie looks and fights like a smallmouth but acts like a trout. We fish for them the same way, wading the shoals and throwing the fly

We also have a few small streams whose names we cannot divulge that offer great fishing for the shoalies. In addition to the shoal bass, the Flint and these other streams support a healthy population of red-breasted (longear) sunfish.
