DH on Chattooga?

[sbleiler]

Anyone mind telling me where and how to get to the DH on the Chattooga? I assume you drive up Warwoman RD until you cross over the river, right? Then what?

Thanks!

You are close. You can go Warwoman Road, but you have to take it all the way to where it dead ends into Highway 28. Take a right onto Hwy 28, go a few miles until you get to the river. Cross over the bridge and there is a parking area on your left on the South Carolina side. The DH section is upstream of the bridge you just crossed. Good luck.

Ciao,

to 28, right on 28, 28 to bridge over Chattooga, parking on either side of bridge. DH extends upstream to Reed Creek.

to fish this section of the DH?

nope, either a GA or SC license will be fine. My advice is to park on the SC and walk up the trail a good ways, nicer water the farther up you go.

Known to see bears and other wildlife up those ways. :eek:

I remember reading that it's difficult to wade and/or fish if the guage is over 2.0 ... but some Toogers may have to chime in on this to confirm... may want to check this link again before going...

Your probably right about the flow PLT. ZachGTO and I hit the river on sat, and in a matter of minutes the water turned muddy and water levels rose. We only managed to catch one fish a piece. With one LDR on a larger fish. Its bad when the highlight of the trip is losing your hemostats and finding someone elses.

saturday, rivertwe and myself got stuck on the georgia side after the water rose very quickly and couldnt find anywhere to cross. it got semi-dangerous pretty quick. we roughed it out and didnt have much luck, but we did have to walk out on the georgia side to hwy 28. i dont recommend walking out on that side if you can prevent it because it's thick and swampy.

walk out on the Ga. side, look for the forest service road, it runs from 28 all the way to the food plots.

The old forest road on the Ga side is also a lot less steep than the trail on the SC side.
