The fishing bite on Lake Lanier is turning on quick with warmer temperature to 77 degrees this past week fish are feeding on free lines boards and down rods have also been productive, the morning bite and days with low lite sky's have been really productive. Last week did come across some active fish schooling on top water, caught 2 great fish on topwater lures one fish 18lbs.

Despite the recent but much needed rains the River is running clear and cold below Buford Dam. This 40 mile Chattahoochee River Tailwater section will be fishable all summer long.(notice the fog in the background/ air temperature on the river are 20-30F cooler!😨) The brown trout population is all wild stream bred and the rainbows are stocked but hold over for 2-3years taking on wild characteristics with brilliant coloration. Deadrift nymphs for numbers and strip streamers for quality trophy fish.

The Chattahoochee Tailwater is running 47F from Buford Dam and will remain in the high 40's low 50's all summer long! Caddis and Mayfly hatches are tapering down but BWO's will continue to hatch all summer on overcast and rainy days. Nymphs and streamer tactics will produce big browns.

Remnants of the caddisfly hatch linger and light Cahill mayflies are emerging so larvae, pupae and adult fly patterns that imitate these life stages are producing. Streamers can be good during lowlight windows early morning or late evening and during overcast weather conditions.

Get ready for the adult caddis to lay eggs and spend their life cycle with spent adults, making for some dry fly action this April. Shoal and white bass are running with stripers following on spring runs.

The caddis hatch is on! For the next month through April the caddisfly life cycle will take place throughout the River making for some great dry fly action. There is nothing better than watching a trout rise to your surface fly!

Winter is not over, so look no further because here is your sure cure for cabin fever! With sudden warming trends, we have seen some good BWO and Little Winter Stones attracting fish to the surface for some dry fly action. When there is no visible rising fish, we can always fall back on nymphs on a dry dropper rig or two or three nymphs dropped under an indicator. I certain conditions, the streamer enthusiast can trigger some "t-bone" strikes from some heavier predatory trout.

BWO's, Little Winter Stones and Cream midges are standard hatches during the winter months offering some dry fly action if the wind lays down. If we have higher winds dead drifting larger nymphs under an indicator or stripping streamers to punch into the gusty conditions. ❄️😊

Fishing on Lanier has been pretty good most days. Fish are in their usual patterns. Most day feeding on small threadfin. Trout and herring and shiners tend to be the go to. The Bite for me seems to get better as the day progresses. Water temp is in the low to mid 40s. Finding the high concentrations of bait is key to success. Down lines free lines and boards. Don't be afraid to bump banks and docks big fish use the shallower water to warm. Using Mini Mac's is also a key trolling 1.3 mph 40 feet behind the boat...

Don't be afraid to get out on the water in the cold, fish still have to eat.
Fishing with Nick was great! Put us on some fish and we pulled in some nice spotted bass along with strippers. Definitely would recommend Nick and we look forward to our next opportunity to fish with Nick.
