Jacks or Conasauga and where?

[elamberth]

Planning a trip to Cohutta this weekend, and I was wondering which river I should fish and where are the best parts of the rivers. I have been to Jacks River Falls on a day hike and caught a few in the hour that I fished, but I am leaning toward the Conasauga because I heard it has more fish. Also, any information about where to hike in from would be appreciated. Thanks! --Edwin

Edwin,
I go up to both rivers regularly.
I think both rivers have good fishing. Jacks River has less fish than Conasauga but Jacks River has bigger trout in it than Conasauga.
On the other hand Conasauga has more fish but they are smaller. So if you want trophy fish go to Jacks Riverbut you may not catch but one or two fish, but it will be worth it.If you want alot of fish like mabey 12-13 fish a day go to Conasauga. I hope I could be any assistance to you ,and good luck.
