The Toccoa Tailwater has been fishing very well as of late. While the fish aren't looking up much to take dry flies, they're gorging themselves on the plentiful nymphs in the river, mainly large (very large, like 2-4" long without tails or antenna) black stones and mayfly nymphs (sz 14-10). Of course they'll occasionally eat a caddis pupa or two (sz 18-14). There's lots more, bigger bugs in the river now than ever before (at least in my decade fishing it). Another interesting occurrence, which I've been blaming on the weather, is the best bite seems to be through the afternoon. The only slow trip I've had in the last two weeks was started at 7 am. all others have seen good numbers and quality of trout and were run from 11-noon until darkish. All fish pictured were caught in the first 15 days of April.
