Smithgall Woods - Dukes Creek Conservation Area
A reader was kind enough to provide Trout University with his review of Dukes Creek in Helen GA. and here is his comments: -- Duke's Creek in the Charles Smithgall game preserve is an outstanding fly fishing destination. They feed the fish on off days and you can have a 4 hour beat for the price of a parking ticket. Anyway there are beautiful fat rainbows but the stream is on the small side, But even I managed a 20++ fish.
Mayflies Made Simple
Mayflies are perhaps the most imitated insects within a trout fisherman’s fly box. Both the adult and nymph stages are an important food source in most any trout river across the country. Yet one of the most common mistakes I see my clients make is misidentifying the most common mayflies, or simply misunderstanding the lifecycles. Lets break this down simply, as this hopefully helps our overall recognition and understanding of these essential bugs.
Stalking Trout
As you know, if a trout sees you, all you will see of him is a flash as he rockets away. My quote for that occurrence is “He is headed for Dixie”. In order to be concealed from the trout you need to understand a little about the trout’s vision. We have reviewed this is greater detail in the Trout University free class #206 What Can Trout See and further in class #406 Color Vision in Trout Eyes.
