Where were in Clarksville Georgia to fish the 2019 Gold Cup
fly fishing tournament. It was cloudy with no rain in our first session. The
rain wasn’t expected to hit until the second session, but we were up to fish the
first session at Fern Valley on beat 4. Air temps were 46 and I didn’t get
water temps. From now on get Water Temps!! Water was a bit high and dingy. I
had forgotten how incredibly strong these fish on the Soque were. This is the
second year in a row that I had the thought that a seven weight rod would be
better suited than a 3 wt. I started off with 6x tippet, but later switched to
5x which ended up being perfectly ok. I honestly think that landing the fish is
much more of an obstacle than hooking one up. No sign of bug activity.
Session 1
Where to start?
