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. ❄️😊

Water flows exiting the Buford Dam is hovering at 50-53 so even though we are experiencing cooler air temperatures the fish are happy and active all winter long because of our unique thermocline in Lake Lanier. Consistent dry fly in the afternoons with hatches of Little Winter Stones, BWO's and Midges. Post spawn activity with the brown trout still aggressive on nymphs and streamers.

Lake Sidney Lanier has stratified making for cool clear water flowing from Buford Dam. Big browns are on the prowl with the fall spawn winding down. Streamer action should be good all this winter . Winter hatches of BWO's , Little Winter Stones and midges should bring some rising pods of trout to the surface.
