Chattahoochee Media and FlyBooks.net are operated by Steve and Trisha Hudson. Steve's been fly fishing for quite a while, but Trisha is a relative newcomer to the sport. She caught her first fly rod fish (a sunfish) on one of their first dates. You can read a a little bit about the two of us here, but be forewarned that the author is an incurable romantic! Since that first fish, Trisha has gone on to become (in Steve's words) "really good at this fly fishing thing." Steve adds, "Not only does she provide a fresh perspective on the products that we offer, but she usually outfishes me too!"

now available: Georgia delayed harvest trout guide!
Learn how to enjoy Georgia's great Delayed Harvest trout fishing
Georgia's Delayed Harvest trout management program gives Georgia anglers a great "second season" of trout fishing, turning several streams into outstanding trout fisheries from Nov. 1 through May 14. What is "DH"? What makes it special? What do you need to know to get in on the fun yourself? This comprehensive and easy to read guide answers those questions, and more, and is just the thing to help you enjoy the superlative Delayed Harvest trout fishing that Georgia has to offer.
Figuring out DH trout
Are Delayed Harvest trout different from other trout you'll encounter? The answer is both "yes" and "no," and this book will help you understand trout in DH waters. You'll learn proven strategies and techniques which will help you connect with more fish!
Gearing up for DH trout fishing
What sort of gear will you need on Georgia's DH waters? In this guide, you'll learn about tackle, clothing, and other gear for Delayed Harvest fishing. This is typically cold-weather fishing, and having the right gear can make the difference.
Flies
One particularly fascinating aspect of fishing Delayed Harvest water is the matter of fly selection. Are flies for DH special or unique? Again, the answer is both "yes" and "no." Understanding how and why Delayed Harvest trout approach flies (and knowing which flies to use...and how to use them) can make all the difference, and this guide thoroughly explores the subject of DH fly choice and fishing strategies.
Stream profiles
Georgia has five great Delayed Harvest fisheries, ranging from big water (such as part of the Chattahoochee near Atlanta) to smaller creeks (such as Smith Creek In Unicoi State Park). The Georgia Delayed Harvest Trout Guide includes detailed profiles of each of these fisheries, with maps and stream-specific tips to get you off to a great start.
