Catch and release

We heard about Natalie Sharp's guide service through Rabun Trout Unlimited's newsletter, and decided to check it out. Originally we were scheduled for early May, but were rained out, and reset for October. It was a birthday present for George (February), and also for Buck and Debbie (May), but finally happened late enough to include me, too (September). Happy birthday, one and all.

Nice one!

Took a long time to land this rainbow!

Buck had the first fish of the day.

This was a private stretch of the Toccoa River, just north of Suches on Gaddistown Road. Our other guide, Bobby, is the land-owner, and he stocked the rainbows about ten years ago; they've been reproducing ever since. We even caught a few fingerlings, along with some big ones.

Misty morning

Six and a half inches of rain yesterday, and then a misty start to today.
