I have been told that the European flyfishermen have been prevailing in trout fishing contests, so with the help of my good friend Ken Sperry of the Fly Fishing Reporter, I did some investigating. I found that unlike the Czech Nymphing technique which is similar to "high stickin" and uses a short leader, the French Spanish leader is much longer and frequently reaches 18 feet in length.
Classifying a body of flowing water by size is simple, for example, rivers by definition are large, creeks are smaller and feeder streams are smaller yet. However, further classification is often difficult because location, geology, chemistry, biological life, flow rate and a host of other physical and chemical characteristics are all different. Regardless of what we call them, each body of flowing water takes on the chemical characteristics of the dissolved portion of the substrate over which it flows, making the chemistry and the PH of each one unique.
A visitor to the Trout Pro website recently brought to my attention that the Toccoa River located in the North Georgia Highlands has a recently developed canoe trail. The Toccoa River is nearly 60 miles long from its headwaters near the town of Suches, Ga. to Tennessee near McCaysville and is bisected by the Blue Ridge Lake. The canoe trail starts at the Deep Hole Recreation Area and flows 13.8 miles to the new take-out at the Sandy Bottoms Area, where you will find parking, a ramp, and toilet facilities.
With both happiness and sadness we here at Trout University wish Tommy Sliker a happy 22nd birthday. Tommy, my grandson, and the son of Tom Sliker the Director of Information Technology here at Trout University, has attending the school of fly fishing since he was a small fry.
As I was compiling the fly fishing information for the Willowemoc Creek, I happened to come across the web site for the Catskill Fly Fishing and Center Museum I was amazed to learn that there was a Catskill Fly Fishing and Center and Museum existing right in downtown Livingston Manor.
Luckily we are blessed with waters that hold trophy sized brown and rainbow trout. Almost every trip down the S. Holston river our guest hook up with one of these giants. Landing these fish on light line, small flies, and in limestone laden rock gardens can present a real dilemma.
The Willowemoc Creek in the southern portion of the Catskill Mountains in New York State is one of the most popular streams in the Empire State. It is a 26 mile long tributary of the Beaver Kill and it has much more public access than does the Beaver Kill. The Willowemoc Creek is a beautiful freestone trout stream in a very scenic area of the lovely Catskill Mountains. It is populated by trout in the range of 9” to 12” with an occasional brown trout that can reach 18” or more
The Chattahoochee River as you may recall, has 48 river miles of designated trout water with over 9,000 acres of protected park lands managed by the Georgia Department of Natural Resources and the National Park Service.
In the early-morning hours of June 5, Tim Peeler told authorities, the creature – a Cleveland County version of Bigfoot – wandered onto Peeler’s property in the rural northwest part of the county. He was 10 feet tall, with a long beard and yellowish-blond hair according to Tim.
