Small Stream Feeshin'

Woke up Sunday morning with the intentions of fishing the lower reaches of a little wild stream outside of Stone Mt. State Park. Dad decided he wanted to come along, he's usually not too big on the small stream fishin' stuff.
Jammed out to some Cage on the way haha.


We were at the trailhead by 9:30, rigged up and ready to go. Olives were coming off in the slack water, but no rises to be seen...hmmm. Decided to nymph the bigger pools and runs to no avail. Looks like there aren't any fish this far down...oh well, another couple miles of walking isn't too bad.

We finally reached the steeper gradient water by noon. I didn't see any bugs but the flashes of feeding fish could be seen below the surface.


We both connected with numerous fish but failed to bring many to hand. I managed to jerk the dry out of a bow's mouth that probably would have went 12-14". Oh well, I will be back! I am, however, stuck at home sick today.
