We’ve got dry flies on the Toccoa River below Blue Ridge Dam! Our guides have been out on the river most every day for the past 2 weeks and are reporting caddis as well as the start of March Browns coming off in force in the evening hours. What does this mean for fly fishing Blue Ridge GA and the anglers here? Here’s a quick rundown of what to use and where to go -

Where - Curtis Switch and Horshoe Bend have been the best two bets for getting in on the action with Curtis Maybe being a little bit better. Fish above the Curtis Switch Bridge in the slower water and watch for subtle rises.
