Fall is right around the corner.  Yes, we\u2019ve almost made it through the last of the humid days of summer.  The changing temperatures will for sure get the trout active and searching for their next big meal! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

October brings the opening of North Carolina\u2019s Delayed Harvest (DH) streams.  Our friends to the north have about seven times more streams and ponds set up for DH fishing.  Their season basically opens October 1st<\/sup> but, bear in mind, it will take the NCWRC about a week to get around to stock all these bodies of water.  They will be stocking browns, rainbows and gorgeous brook trout.  You can find these DH streams online at https:\/\/www.ncwildlife.org\/Portals\/0\/Fishing\/documents\/Delayed-Harvest-Trout-Waters-Stocking-Dates-Map.pdf<\/a>  If fishing the early part of the DH season, use junk flies like eggs, Y2Ks, San Juan and Squirmy worms for fast hook ups.  As the DH season drags on, begin switching back to naturals!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Locally, floating the Toccoa will begin seeing some changes.  We\u2019ve mainly been running morning trips for the last several months.  It will not be too much longer when we\u2019ll be able to start getting some full days on the tailwater.  As we move into October, she should be fishing pretty good but once the lake starts its annual turnover the bite will fall off.  As soon as the turnover ends, all should be well on the Toccoa tailwater for the next several months.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mid-October until the end of December brings the wary ole Mr. Brown in from places unknown.  This can be an outstanding time to hook up with an absolute monster.  Browns will start moving into the upper reaches of rivers and streams to stage for the spawn.  This can be an exciting time to be on the water here in North Georgia.  If you want to go after a brown trout of a lifetime \u2013 this is the perfect time!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
