Fly Fishing in Roswell

Dutch Earle is the past president of the Upper Chattahoochee Chapter of Trout Unlimited, vice president of the Georgia Council of Trout Unlimited, and on the board of directors of the Chattahoochee Nature Center. When Dutch moved to Roswell, he selected a subdivision on Riverside Road, across the street from the Chattahoochee River, where the Georgia Department of Natural Resources stock trout on a regular basis. He quickly developed a passion and an interest for fly fishing. Here is what Dutch had to say about the sport in Roswell.

What draws people to fly fishing in the Chattahoochee?
It is not necessary to go into the North Georgia Mountains because we have a unique and productive trout stream running through Roswell. In fact, the Hooch has experienced natural reproduction of brown trout for the past dozen years, and the Department of Natural Resources predominately stocks it with rainbow trout. That says volumes about the good health of the river. An unlimited amount of people can fish in the Chattahoochee. From Buford Dam at Lake Lanier down to south of Atlanta, there are around 38 river miles of designated trout water.

What do you need to begin fly fishing?
Dutch says, Equipment can be very specialized and expensive, but you dont need a lot of equipment to start out. A combination fly rod kit from a local sporting goods store is inexpensive and will do the job.

The Chattahoochee River is the perfect place to fly fish for beginners and pros alike. Trout Unlimited named it a Blue Ribbon trout stream, making it one of the top 100 streams in America! Kayaking and fly fishing out of the kayak is also a fun activity for the entire family to enjoy! For more information on fly fishing in Roswell, visit UCCTU.org.
