Cream Caddis, Yellow Stoneflies, and Light Cahill Mayflies are beginning to show-up in the afternoons and evenings on the Chattooga. Try size 14 or 16 cream or ginger dry flies such as elk hair caddis, parachute light cahill, or stimulator. For some extra action, tie a small nymph on a 2 to 3 foot dropper trailing behind your dry fly. Don't forget to check the batteries in your flashlight.

Business - Planning of the May 11-15 (Wed-Sun) Fishing & Camping Outing - Fishing the Chattooga DH, Backcountry, Ellicott Rock Wilderness, East Fork &/or Burrell's Ford areas with Camping at Cherry Hill C.G. off SC Highway 107.

And it is the evening after the "Athenites" get-together.
Pay attention to the Outing scheduled for May the 11th-15th...ever fished around the bend or through the Gorge on the Chattooga? This just might be your chance. Well, the Gorge just might be a little high this time of the year....August would be better.
