This weekend, me and some of my buds from down here in Auburn are planning on going up to North Georgia to camp out and fish. About a year ago I camped and fished Boggs Creek, Dicks Creek, and Waters Creek around Dahlonega. Boggs and Dicks had just been stocked with some sickly looking small rainbows, but Waters had some beautiful stocked trophy brooks and bows. I am looking to get some opinions on where I should take the boys. I have heard good things about the Conasauga. Which section has the best fishing with the most convenient camp sites? Is camping in these areas limited to designated areas? Zach has recommended Noontoola creek to me in the past, but the fishing seems good only for those who know what they are doing–and I certainly have close to no experience up in small streams and creeks.
Thanks fellas

*After doing a little more research I’m finding that people have been having success at Dukes Creek. Anyone familiar with this creek?
I’d suggest a tailrace for this weekend since the weather is turning cold again. If it must be Georgia, the Toccoa would be the ticket. If you’ll drive another hour or so, the Tuck and Nantahala DH would be a good bet.

This weekend I would stay home, if fishing is what you want. Toccoa TW will be muddy for several days, except at the dam. Nantahala and Tuck are running very high, Nan is about 700% of normal flow per river gauge and Tuck appears to be nearly as bad. Toccoa above the lake is running about 3000 CFS so I expect everything to be blown out until next week some time.
