At the time of this writing our stream levels are flowing nicely.  Afternoon and evening showers and thunderstorms have helped immensely in keeping our flows up this year so far.  It is getting hot though.  Higher air temperatures will inevitably increase water temperatures as we continue deeper into the summer.  Keep this in mind when … Continue...

As I write this article in early December old man winter has been playing peek-a-boo with us lately.  Just a short while back we had temperatures in the teens.  The other day we were in the 60-degree range.  Hard to tell if he’s ever going to arrive.  I’m certain though that he’ll be right around … Continue reading "The Cold and Family Outings" Th...

The beauty of Fall has now left us as well as the crowds on the streams.  Old man winter is perhaps right around the corner.  This should change your approach to trout fishing as they will no longer be feeding on the surface.  Keep in mind that we cannot be careless about the clothing we … Continue reading "Wintertime Fishing" The post Wintertime...

I like to promote Georgia in most of my articles but it’s hard to deny the outstanding work of the North Carolina Wildlife Resource Commission when it comes to their delayed harvest (DH) trout fishing program.  Our friends to the north have about seven times more streams and ponds set up for DH fishing.  Their … Continue reading "Fantastic Fall Tr...

Terrestrial Time in North Georgia August is a great time of year to throw those big ole nasty dry flies.  About anywhere you go to up here in North Georgia big dries will work from the smallest streams to even the Toccoa Tailwater.  Look to be casting hopper patterns beetles Letort Crickets and the biggest … Continue reading "North Georgia Fishing...

March is finally here and it is time for Spring. Two patterns will develop in March. Some of the stripers will be in the creeks and some of the stripers will be in open water. It is hard to say which will be holding more fish. The stripers in the creeks will be feeding on […] The post March Fishing Forecast appeared first on Catching Not Fishing.

What does this February hold for the stripers on Lake Lanier is a good question. It all comes down to the weather. After a very cold December and early January the weather has now bounced around all over the place. So far the stripers and even a good number of bass have been exceptionally deep […] The post Lake Lanier Fishing Report January 12 201...

The Winter bite is in full swing here on Lanier. The stripers are following the bait into the creeks. The north end and the south end are both great. Birds and loons will continue to be a big help. If the birds are in an area the bait is nearby almost every time. The good […] The post Lake Lanier Fishing Report Dec. 23 2017 appeared first on Catch...

After a great topwater month this November look for the winter patterns to now fall into place. The bait is now beginning to move into the creeks and the stripers are following them. Live bait will be hard to beat in December. The baitfish are now moving into the creeks in very large schools. Some […] The post Lake Lanier Striper Report appeared f...

October is finally here and time to get out the artificials for some topwater explosions here on Lake Lanier. As the surface temperatures continue to drop look for the fish to feed close to the surface. If you like to cast October is your month. Many times the schools will be large enough to see […] The post October Fishing Report Lake Lanier 2017...

The fishing here on Lake Lanier has been outstanding the past month. The stripers have decided to stay shallow all Winter feeding on threadfin shad. The threadfin shad are very small so we have had to change to small baits on light line. Most days we have been using 10 pound Trilene 100 % Flourocarbon.

Hard to believe another year has passed. In the month of January look for the striped bass fishing on Lanier to be very dependent on the weather. If the weather stays somewhat warm the fishing will be hot. If the ice or an extended cold front with a week of sub freezing weather shows up […] The post January 2017 appeared first on Catching Not Fish...

Blue ridge April 2026 Temp 60 Level -8 ft Clarity 12ft This crystal clear lake is filling up and coming to life. Fish are starting to move back to their spring time hunting grounds. Look for walleye in the 35ft zone during the day and cruising the shorelines at night this month. […]

The fishing has been off the charts for the last 6 weeks and I don’t  see it slowing down anytime soon. The walleye have been scattered all over the lake moving in and out of spawning grounds on and off gravel bars or in current. We have been absolutely hammering them everywhere day and […]

BLUE RIDGE MARCH 2026 temp 48 Level -17 ft Clarity 15ft March is when we start to see this lake wake back up from winter. We start to get some grass coming back water levels start to come up and temps start to elevate above their bottomed out feb lows. This brings the walleye out of […]
