Fisherboy0301 0 Report post Posted August 10, 2016 Taking a day trip up on Oct 29 to the Toccoa River here in Ga to do some trout fishing for my first time ever with a friend who'll be fishing the dark side (spin tackle) as well. Talked to the guide about sending me patterns to tie but he hasn't yet. Any suggestions? Going to be fishing the watershed and tributaries wading, then drifting the lower Toccoa River. Any and all patterns or tips are appreciated! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mikechell 0 Report post Posted August 10, 2016 From what I gather, reading comments from die-hard trout anglers ... you'll need to tie perfect mimic midge larva in sizes 38 through 44. You'll also need to collect freshly spun spider's web for tippet material. Good luck !!! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Oh stop Mike, he could just take you along to show him how it's done with a piece of cloths line and 1/0 hook, LOL ! I don't know those waters ( especially for Oct) so I will hold back my comments. I could take some pretty good generic guesses but anyone can do that. While you wait for some real answers here is a hatch chart, fwiw: http://www.bigyflyco.com/toccoariver.asp Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

islander727 0 Report post Posted August 11, 2016 I did well just drifting #16 bh pheasant tails, hare's ear nymphs as well. That was later in the year. Check north georgia trout online forum, as well. I'm sure they could point you in the right direction... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
