Went up to Blue Ridge with the family for a long weekend. Got out on a half day trip with Captain & Captain Guide Service. (
http://flyfishingnorthgeorgia.com/). Caught 3 Rainbows and a brown all about this same size. Hooked a 16"-18" brown for 3 or 4 seconds after he rose to a dry fly Which was awesome to see. Missed the first few fish trying to break the salt water strip strike habit.
Hunter Morris was a lot of fun to fish with.. great instructor, patient, and didn't try to correct his client on every cast.

Thanks for sharing your wonderful trip! Must have been a thrill to see those fish come up to your lure in the clear water.
Beautiful area. I happened to be hiking/camping in the pouring rain below the dam November, 1977. The dam broke and killed 39 people. We were lucky to escape unharmed.

Beautiful area...very peaceful. I've fished that river a few times and enjoyed myself thoroughly. Fishing below the dam in the summer just after they've restocked has been a blast. Congrats on landing some rainbows and browns!

On a funny note Hunter (the guide) has heard rumors of Dr. Allee pond down here in our parts
