    No it's fine. I've used it too for shorter clips vs Youtube. I don't know of a better option, was just making sure it wasn't something in my settings causing it.

    Not with the rains, went up the Chestatee looking for stripers but only found panfish. Had a great float on the Flint last month with two 20" shoal bass.

    Him and Polly are good folks, you should join the fly fishing club if you're in Atlanta. We're going back to Manual's in person next month. Think we're gonna go back to fly tying in person at Sweetwater this wednesday too.

    Our stripers put Georgia over the top for me. Believe Sweetwater Creek is my next target, the spillway from the resevoir to the Hooch.

    Henry's Cowen's book for stripers and check out the red eye bass guys in Alabama, we're within 2 hours from the Tallapoosa and Talladega drainages.

    sadly ill be just outside of Clemson. usually i dont mind driving a couple of hours for a day trip. i haven’t gotten a striper on my flyrod. i tried a few times in TN and below Lake Murray with no luck.

    i’ll be upgrading the car after my move and plan to install my roof rack, so i can get the canoe in use again. should be able to float a bit provide there are shuttle services.

    Yeah, I saw some posts from Saturday where it was basically combat fishing out there. Wife and kids are going out of town this weekend, so it's a weekend full of fishing. Going to do some hiking in this weekend to try some spots.

    i'd be ready to hike for sure. although you fish further up than i do. i messed around and didn't make it a 1/2 mile above the hell hole.

    I've had really good success 1/2 mile downstream of Hellhole. I'm planning on trying to get to Ellicott Rock this weekend. I've never gone past where the East Fork dumps into the Chattooga. I think the East Fork is about halfway to it.

    Big striper in Lake Hartwell and shoals and/or smallmouth in some of the bigger rivers in north georgia and WNC. The Etowah north of Atlanta is a great float for smallmouth on the Allatoona side and stripers below the dam coming from Lake Weiss.

    You're gonna need to hit the coast for reds too, that's a great location to set up shop.

    This is incredible, thank you. Those two NW GA red eye drainages overlap with the 5 red eye species in Alabama. They're in the Talladega National Forest and Tallapoosa drainage. I've done a few red eye kayak tournaments on the Tallapoosa with Project Healing Waters.

    Cleaned and re-spooled four reels last night in anticipation of getting out more this year. I'm a whore for Zebco 11T's on ultralight rods for panfish, have a few tucked away after they stopped making them. I know, a "kid's reel" but I love the simplicity.

    Long fishing weekend got delayed a week, but did get to go today. Got the SC slam with all 3 types of trout, a few chubs, and a small bass. Kept a few this time to cook up at home.
