Weekly Fishing Report: Your Guide to the Chattahoochee River

Cool weather brought out the brown and rainbow trout this week.

With the recent cold spell we had some great catches this past week on the Chattahoochee River.

Nice Rainbow Trout and some really nice Brown Trout were taken on woolly buggers and Olive Zonkers. If you have not gotten out your gear yet, now is the ideal time to pull it out and get out and go fishing.

Bass and bream are really taking popping bugs and some shad patterns. Chris Scalley with River through Atlanta Guide Service said the river is really fishing well. If you're interested in having an expert fishing guide at your side, give him a call.
