Upper Toccoa River - Gear, Tackle and Flies
Fly Line:
We recommend either a 4 or 5 weight floating line for the trout. Some anglers may prefer to
use a 6 weight fly line for their nymphs and streamer fishing, but it wouldn't be absolutely
necessary.
Fly Rod:
We recommend a rod for the 4, 5 or 6 weight line that is nine feet in length in a medium fast
to fast action.
Fly Reel:
The reel for the four, five or six weight rod should have a decent drag. It should be smooth.
A disc drag that adjust in fine increments would be best.
Leaders:
You should use leaders from 71/2 foot to 12 foot in length for the Upper Toccoa River. I
suggest having them in sizes ranging from 0X for streamers, up to 6X for small dry flies and
midges, in the various lengths.
Tippet:
You should have extra tippet in sizes ranging from 0X to 6X.
Waders:
Waders are necessary for the Upper Toccoa River. We prefer the breathable type. You may
want neoprene waders during cold weather.
Wading Boots:
Much of the bottom in either gravel, sand or rock. You would not want cleats. Felt soles are
the best.
Landing Net:
A landing net is purely optional.
Trout Flies:
We recommend our "Perfect Fly" trout flies. The flies you have for the aquatic insects should
vary depending on the time of the year you are fishing. We have specific imitations of
everything that hatches in the Upper Toccoa River as well as imitations of the crustaceans
and terrestrials insects. If you haven't already tried them, we certainly hope you do.
