My guess is dog. I live over 150mi away from the very small population (approx. 20-25) red wolves left in NC. There’s also no other wolves known to live here. So someone’s massive dog must’ve just gotten loose.

That would be awesome! Thank you.

Hey, I know this is a fishing forum, but I’m hoping some outdoorsmen out there may have the answer to my question.

I recently saw the tracks in the attached photos while out on a walk here in central NC. They obviously look Canine to me… but larger than any I’ve ever seen. I’ve seen wolf tracks in Michigan’s UP many times while hunting, and I grew up with a roughly 90lb German Shepard, and these tracks dwarfed both of those. Too big for a coyote, and out of the Red Wolf range. So If anyone has an idea of what animal could’ve made tracks this big, and on a military base in central NC… I’d be very interested to know. My only theory is someone walked out to the trail I was on with a Great Pyrenees, although I say that jokingly. Because I doubt it.

Hey all,
I’m planning a fly fishing trip thanksgiving weekend to the north GA area on search of trout. Does anyone have advise on where to start? Any good resources I can use to find a good stream? I don’t know the public/private water situation up there, my plan was to try and fish the “hooch” as well as the Toccoa, and maybe the feeders that dump into those. Any help is appreciated!

Rapala X-Rap and Shadow Rap in black/orange, Black/silver, and white always seem to get the job done.

I’ve been looking into a trip up there here soon, pics would be greatly appreciated, good luck!

Thank you! I’ve been fishing the ponds on base, unfortunately without much success, but that’s expected. I’ll give that stretch off the hooch a try!

I’ve heard rumors of good shoal bass fishing there. Figured I’d go throw some streamers around in the next few weeks. Thank you!

Hey all! I’m new to Georgia, just got stationed at Ft. Benning. Coming from Michigan, fly fishing is a huge part of my life, and I plan to continue fishing now that I’m down here.
I’m just looking for some rivers to try out in SW GA. I’m not picky about species, my favorites from back home are trout, Smallmouth, and Pike, so I’ve got the equipment for most anything that I can think of. I know I’ll have to travel quite far to fish for trout, but are there any streams down here worth fishing? (Columbus/Atlanta area)

I’ve also looked into the Chattahoochee, but I’ve been told it’s too dangerous to wade in the Ft. Benning area.

Any help is appreciated! Thanks,

Your best bet is to fish nymphs/midges. I prefer to run two flies, first, I will almost always tie on a #12-#16 copper John, as those seem to do really well. I’ll then just tie a second nymph or midge off of that just see what works. I usually keep cycling though zebra midges, hares ear, pheasant tail, and so on, leaving the copper John on the line. Doubles as a good weight aswell! If you want, you can also try egg patterns. I’ve never been a fan of them, but they do work.
