Striped Bass - Chattahoochee River Float

The Chattahoochee River is fortunate to have multiple sections with amazing spring runs of trophy striped bass. Striped bass fishing on the Chattahoochee River is my favorite fishing of the year! This fishing can be fairly technical, so we usually steer beginner fly anglers toward other options. We target these fish using 8wt rods with sink-tip lines and a tippet of about 18 inches of 20lb fluorocarbon. We’ve caught fish up to 40 pounds, so be prepared for a battle! We fish a mix of creek mouths, undercut banks, and deeper holes. This fishing is all subsurface streamer fishing with shad-imitating patterns.
