Hello everyone, hope all is well.
I plan on taking a 6, or 7 day trout fishing/primitive camping trip in a couple days.
Disclaimer: I am not an experienced trout fisherman.
I've caught trout in Kentucky, and northern Tennessee long time ago a few times.
We just used panther martins, and small skinny rapala crankbaits on 6lb mono, with a short leader of 4lb on ultralight spinning tackle.
I understand creek fishing; as far as where to cast depending on the particular situation.
This is the extent of my trout fishing knowledge.
That being said...
I've narrowed my focus to the higher elevations East/Northeast of Clayton, Chattahoochee national forest.
I've never visited this area. I planned on just riding around; till I found a good spot to walk in.
I was wondering if someone would be willing to share some possible lure/bait selection options for that particular area.
I've never finished for trout in Georgia.
Lived here my whole life (Minus about 5 years.), and I'm ashamed to say I have not been on a proper camping trip in our northern mountains.
I plan on bringing an ultralite spinning set up.
The line, and lures/bait I've yet to purchase. Everything I have at the moment; is for Bass, and Cats.
I pride myself in finding information myself, so I don't have to bother anyone.
There's not much specific information available for fishing this area (I do realize it's possibly because folks who know; don't necessarily want EVERYONE to know EVERYTHING that may have possibly taken years to learn by experience about an area.).
So a couple questions, if someone could kindly point me in the right direction.
$ is an object for me right now.
What lures/bait (Particular hook, weight, bobber combination for live bait if suggested.) should I focus on?
Appropriate line weight(s)?
Possibly different line weights for different lure/bait setups?
I planned on going in no more than about 3 miles for camp (I wouldn't be against going half a mile, or less.)
Does this limit my chances to be away from most folks in the national forest?
Is there a suggestion for an area that has a good chance of being void of humans?
I don't really need a full lecture on general camping, or animal safety; however I am open to hearing any specific dangers about this area that I might not know about.
Thank you in advance,
