    About to get out in it boys. This weekend is looking pretty good. I’ll report back if we’re successful.

    Zach Mathews, wow, what luck for me. I’m new on here and was wanting to get around about asking about winter fishing in North Georgia. My local Stream is the Public Access Soque River. If your unfamiliar it’s basically a Freestone stream. Usually high crowds but they slack off in the Winter. This is my first season here fly fishing religiously and passionately. When I go out I’m for the most part blind guessing on what Fly to use. I’m told right now a black Zebra Midge is one of the best bets to go with.? And smaller Hares Ears, Pheasant Tails too. ? If you could, would you help me with my horrible situation I’m having? Lol. The Trout are active too, which further adds to my headache. Lol . If it’ll let me I’ll add a few pictures of what Simple Midge’s I’ve tied so far.

    Justin you probably need to resize those images before uploading them here. A good option would be to upload them to IMGUR, which has unlimited server space and resizes automatically, then edit your posts to link to the IMGUR .jpg file. That will host them here.

    I have never fished the public access of the Soque but I will give you this piece of advice: go when it is raining and try to find creek mouths and points of convergence to fish. Those big pellet fed pigs in the private water have the same instincts as every other trout even if they have spent their lives on the couch eating M&Ms, and if they feel a pulse of water (a “freshet”), they’ll move upstream to try to spawn.
