New to fly fishing sort of

[Jeffrey o]

I fly fished on a lake regularly for 6 months or so about 20 years ago I live in north east ga and am going to hit some streams and try my luck. Would love some suggestions on a few flys to use in this area so I don’t waste a lot of money on junk that I think will work. Thanks for any help

Fishing for what species? Trout?

 

[Jeffrey o]

Yes sir. Trout probably stockers to start with one day maybe I’ll be good enough to go after the specs

 

[NCHillbilly]

Specks aren't any harder to catch than stockers, just harder to find and get to. Flies that will work about anywhere in this region most times: Parachute Adams, Yellow Stimulator, Yellow Palmer, Thunderhead, Elk Hair Caddis, Chubby Chernobyl, Hippie Stomper for dries, Prince, Tellico, Pat's Rubber Legs, Hare's Ear, Pheasant Tail for nymphs. Throw in a Woolley Bugger or two, and you should be catching some fish.

Awesome thanks for the info. I could remember using the parachute Adams years ago on the lake but wasn’t sure about the streams. Thanks

Stocked trout for my first but I’ll take it!
