I made an early morning run up to Curtis Switch today and had a a close encounter with a deer in the river. I was fishing just past that little island downstream of the boat launch parking area. I heard some splashing down river and looked up and saw a medium size doe walking in the river, heading straight towards me.
I figured she would see me soon enough and turn, but the deer kept coming towards me. I stood as still as a statue and that deer got within twenty feet of me before it finally realized a human was in the water with her. Her eyes about bugged out of her head :yikes: when she finally saw me and she turned tail and ran down river as fast as she could. There were a couple guys up river from me that witnessed the whole thing, and they were laughing their heads off.
Oh yeah, quick fish report: so-so day by Toccoa standards. I caught 10 trout in 6 hours of fishing. Also, nothing but Chubs on nymphs, all the trout were caught on dry's! None of the trout were very big, but I was using my 2 weight, so even the 10 inch stockers are fun to catch.
