Lake Blue Ridge Fishing
Lake Blue Ridge and its thriving population of Smallmouth Bass make it Reel Job Fishing’s primary choice for guided lake trips. The 3,290-acre lake and surrounding area boast over 90 national forest campsites, several boat ramps, a full-service marina and public swimming and picnic areas. Eighty percent of the shoreline on Lake Blue Ridge is in the Chattahoochee National Forest, managed by the USDA Forest Service.
Lake Blue Ridge is the southern most lake in the United States that
maintains a healthy Smallmouth Bass and Walleye population. It is not
uncommon to catch Smallmouth Bass up to 4 pounds while 5 pound fish
have been landed. Other species targeted are Largemouth Bass, Spotted
Bass, White Bass, and Bream.
Reel Job Fishing offers guided fly fishing & conventional fishing
trips on Lake Blue Ridge and Lake Nottley. Although our primary tackle
used is conventional gear we welcome fly fisherman especially during
the spring. However, clients need to understand that their casting
level will significantly determine their success rate. If you know how
to double haul and you consider yourself an advanced caster you’ll be
fine. Our trolling motor is equipped with a wireless foot pad so you
can have the bow to yourself.
