The weather in Atlanta was too great to pass up spending a little time on the water. I met a fishing buddy and fellow Atlanta Fly Fishing Club member, Adrian, at Paces Mill on Sunday. We hiked up to just below the I-75 bridge to fish some easily wadeable water. Before calling it a day in the middle of the afternoon (we started at noon), I went 15 for 17 in just a little under 3 hours of fishing. All were Rainbows except for one 12" Brown. In the mix, I landed one 18" and one 17" fish. Adrian also landed an 18 incher on an emerald green San Juan worm (go figure!). As for me, my hot fly was an X-TC. Yellow or Chartreuse worked best. However, I did land one fish on a black bugger. All-and-all, a good three hours on the water under near blue bird conditions. The water was running fairly low with just a hint of stain which is pretty normal for the DH section.
