Fishing Report - 5/29/26

In the last two weeks we have seen the shift of severe drought to high muddy water, causing the fishing pressure to be reduced to almost zero on our tailwater. 

Before the rain, the Chattahoochee tailwater was fishing phenomenally and offered a great experience with clear water and willing fish. While no one likes a rain delay or chocolate milk colored water, this much-needed rain has been a welcomed sight!  It’s finally giving some of our fish a break from angling pressure and bringing water levels back to normal. 

As we begin to see things clear, private water trips are still available in half day mornings and the Hooch should be back in full swing after this weekends rain pushes through!

On the flip side, lake Lanier levels are beginning to rise and the spotted bass fishing has been picking up with some fish coming up and eating top water. Finding groups of fish coming up consistently is a challenge, but small Game Changers on intermediate lines has been on fire. 

As stated above, the Chattahoochee has been blown out the last few days causing the carp fishing opportunities to be nonexistent. Once we begin to see the turbidity decline (hopefully late next week), these fish should have been given a nice break and ready to eat a well presented fly again!
