I had the opportunity Friday, to fish Lake Chickamauga with Joe Thomas the host of Ultimate Match Fishing and Stihl’s Reel in the Outdoors. We filmed a episode that will air on The Outdoor Channel In September. All I can say now is the bite is unreal on Chickamauga. There’s only two was to get in on this action, book a trip now or wait till the episode airs in September. Choose Now, here’s a little taste.

The past couple months have been wild, we’ve had all kinds of weather. But now everything is starting settle down. The lakes are almost at there summer levels, we’re also starting to have nice warm days. The water temps are up in the mid 60′s and the fish are starting to spawn. When the spawn is over this month the bass will be ready to start feeding and moving into there summer patterns. Check out the Lake Burton article in the May issue of Georgia Outdoor News. Call us now and book your lake trip.

This past week I got to guide, yet another Georgia Women’s Fly Fishers club member that was a true pleasure. Eileen showed up ready to learn and she also brought with her some great skills that’s she’s picked up from her friends and past guides. We focused on having a great time and going over the finer points of small stream trout fishing. It was a grand day, with crazy fish fights that had us chasing fish up and down stream, and some of those were dandy trout in deed. Thank you Eileen for allowing Reel Job Fishing to guide you.
This beautiful stream bred rainbow was a trip maker. We sight fished to it holding on the bottom of a pool for about 15 minutes until we changed flies and the hen eagerly swam over and ate Eileen’s nymph. It was a action packed battle that provided us a fish memory neither of us will soon forget.
This wild brown was icing on the cake for Eileen and I. It was holding on the inside edge of a riffle next to a boulder. By the time we landed this wild brown we were all worn out. These guys don’t come around all that often, so when they do, we cherish them and take extra care to revive and release them. Congrats to Eileen for a wonderful day on the water. I don’t know what it is about those GA Women Fly Fishers, but they got some mad skills and are cool as cucumbers.
If you’re interested in catching some trophies like the ones above, please give Reel Job Fishing a call. Fishing is pretty darn good right now.

Spring is almost here in the North Georgia mountains. The ten day forecast for Blue Ridge, GA is looking good, sixty degrees or better everyday and the time just changed to boot. To help you guys dust off that fly gear and get this spring started early, we are going to offer a “Spring Forward Special”. The next six float trip bookings we will be offering a $50 discount. That’s a float trip on the Toccoa River for $325. With other outfitters in the area charging upwards of $400 this is a great opportunity to have a great day of fly fishing and save a nice chunk of change. Be quick to jump on this offer, it’s only good for the next six float trip bookings. Good Luck and thanks for supporting Reel Job Fishing.
Also, don’t forget about our partnership with Southern Comfort Cabin Rentals that’s making the deal even sweeter by offering all RJF clients 10% off on lodging. Remember to tell them Reel Job Fishing sent you.

Check out this beautiful rainbow trout recently caught on a RJF guided fly fishing trip in North Georgia. I never get tired of admiring trout like this. This fish alone, made the day but we also caught several other nice fish. If you want to catch trout like this, now is the time.
Also, for all our bass fishing clientele, don’t forget April is the month for trophy class largemouth and spots on Lake Burton. It’s the best time of year to catch a 7+ pound bass on a public reservoir. That’s a much harder to accomplish than on a farm pond and a serious accomplishment for any bass fisherman. Along with great shots at truly giant bass, you can expect to catch hefty sacs of bass like this one below in the process. Eric Welch, our head bass guide, is by far one of the most qualified and professional guides in the tri-state area. Don’t wait until the last minute to book. His calendar is filled up more than mine. Also, he can accommodate up to three anglers on his 21′ bass boat. That’s perfect for splitting the cost up among friends and making the trip economical for everyone.
Check out this featured cabin rental below managed by Southern Comfort Cabin Rentals. It’s located smack in the middle of our fishing operations, only ten minutes from us. But even better, as a RJF customer you’ll receive 10% Off rental rates.
We hope all of our friends and supportors are doing well and we look forward to fishing with you soon.

Yesterday, our head guide Dell Neighbors had a good day floating the Toccoa River. One of my favorite hatches and the first that the trout key in on is the Black Caddis. They’ve been sporadic lately, and there should be a blanket hatch starting over the next week. This can provide some exceptional fly fishing as the trout in the Toccoa gorge themselves on the caddisflies.
Black Caddis Hatch - Toccoa River
One bonus I’ve been very proud to offer to our clients is an extensive network of private boat ramp access points on the Toccoa River. Having multiple boat ramps at our finger tips to use, allows us to get you on the water out in front of the crowds and also float a greater range of sections throughout the year. Anyone that regularly floats the Toccoa, knows how important it is to have the right generation schedules, water that’s not blown out, and enough water flows. Take this into account next time you’re booking a float trip on the Toccoa River. When you book with RJF, these are some extra perks you don’t get with other outfitters.
February was a big fish month for Reel Job Fishing and we expect March to be more of the same with higher catch rates. March is one of my favorite times to trout fish during the year, because as soon as it start to warm up slightly, the fish get crazy aggressive from their metabolisms sky rocketing. You can catch trout on just about any type of fly (dry, nymph or streamer) and the fights are generally pretty intense. This year, Reel Job Fishing is proud to announce that we’ve got twice as much private trophy trout water than ever before and some are exclusive to us.
Imagine waking up the morning jazzed about your guided fishing trip with RJF and being able to relax and take your time in the morning. Southern Comfort Cabin Rentals hand picked six amazing cabins so that no matter what cabin you get, you’ll be just minutes away from meeting us in the morning. We’re very proud we’ve partnered with Southern Comfort Cabin Rentals, one of the most decorated and professional cabin rental companies in the area. They are the total package and can set you up to enjoy any type of outdoor recreational activity during your stay in Blue Ridge or Ellijay, GA. If you want top of the line customer service, just like your guiding at RJF, look no further. We look forward to building a long standing relationship together.
We look forward to a great fishing season and seeing all of you soon. Call Now and Let’s get that Rod Bent!

This past Thursday everything fell into place for one of our lucky but very gracious clients Gary Rogers. He landed this absolutely beautiful 100% wild 26 1/2″ brown trout. The fight was long and intense but we followed the mighty fish up and down the river until we finally wore down the big male and brought it to net. This fish of a lifetime doesn’t happen all that often, but when it does, it invigorates everyone and get us back on the water fishing our butts off until it happens again.
Right now fly fishing conditions on our streams are excellent due to prime water levels and spring just around the corner. If you’re looking for a great time and to give your fly rod one hell of a work out, there’s no better time than now to book your next guided fly fishing trip with Reel Job Fishing. Let us do what we love, propel your skills and show you the time of your life. Give us a call and we’ll fill you in on all the details.

Thanks to everyone praying for rain, we’ve been blessed with an abundance of it lately. Currently, water levels are absolutely perfect for trout fishing. The photos above are a couple snapshots from a couple fish landed at Noontootla Creek Farms last week. Generally, February and March are two of the most consistent months of the year for trout fishing in GA. As air and water temperatures slowly rise, so will the metabolisms of the trout, and that makes them super aggressive and good fighters. High flows have trout happy and calm, and increasing metabolisms also have them more willing to travel longer distances to eat flies. That all translates into more action and better shots at bigger fish.
If you’re interested in booking a guided fly fishing trip on one of our private trophy trout waters or a float trip on our public water, please give us a call to reserve your spot. Days are quickly getting crossed off our calendar as we speak. We very much look forward to providing you the best guided trout fishing services in the state.
