Relatively New fly fisherman here trying to learn the ins and outs of fly fishing in North Ga. There are only a couple of streams that are "local" to me here in NW GA and from what I can find on the internet they are stocked a few times early in the year and maybe a time or two in the fall. I'm not one to try and find out exactly when the streams are stocked and be there waiting, I prefer a little solitude and would rather wait until the crowds are gone and then try to get out and learn and maybe catch a couple of fish. I don't mind a skunking now and then, I'm used to it. These streams are really small with not a lot of fishy looking areas but I have been able to locate some fish that have survived the initial fishing pressure, but I can't catch the little rascals. I've tried an assortment of dry and wet flies, nymphs, and even egg patterns, all to no avail. Today I even had one that was actually moving out of the way of my fly as it came by right in front of his face. I'm sure my presentation leaves a lot to be desired, but these fish weren't spooked by me or my movement but would simply move out of the way when my offering floated by. I'm not looking to catch a limit but any ideas on what I might could do to catch one every once in a while?
