Fly fishing is an art that demands patience and focus.
Fishing for trout takes place in some of the most beautiful scenery in the world.
Add to these the challenge of presenting an imitation of a food source in the trout's
own environment with many varying conditions, fly fishing can be one of the most
rewarding and peaceful experiences of a lifetime.
Tailwater fishing offers a unique challenge to the sport of angling for trout. The ever-changing conditions caused by the irregular water flow of these fisheries has brought many a fisherman to his knees. To consistently fish a tailwater (the flow downriver of a hydro-electric dam) one must learn to read the river that is constantly in a state of change. How trout feed in high water or low water conditions, fluctuation speeds of current, the availability and variations of food source all combine to make fishing these waters and ever learning and personally fulfilling pasttime.
Many anglers around the world fish for the elusive rainbow and brown trout in various settings and conditions. The year-round habitat and climate of these waters in the Southeast make for some of the best experiences one can have "standing in the river waving a stick."
