I had a chance to run up Little River looking for fish with a friend for half a day last weekend.  Some  seagulls, heavily feeding on bait, turned us onto the fish in front of Little River Bridge, near the Cherokee boat ramp.  We managed to catch several nice stripers there.  We were not as lucky in Germany Creek.  We marked plenty of fish, but couldn't get them to bite before the much needed rain ran us off the lake.  The hybrids and stripers have definitely moved up both the Georgia and South Carolina Rivers.  They should build in numbers over the next few weeks.

 Remember,  with 1200 miles of shoreline, catching fish is a lot like finding the perfect waterfront property to buy, you gotta know where to go....

 It's time to get in the Christmas spirit. On December 8th at the Robert Toombs Historical Home in Washington Georgia, a Christmas Carol by Charles Dickens will be presented. Each room will present different scenes form this classic. Go to the websites below for more information.

The low water levels continue to provide great fishing.  I went out last weekend looking for places to fish when the water comes back up.  I found a brushpile barely under the surface in only 8 to 10 feet of water.  I backed off and threw a blue and white 1/32 ounce doll fly and was rewarded with a nice mess of crappie.  The fish will be in and out of shallow water until it gets too cold.  When fishing shallow water, use a 4 to 6 pound test line and a slow sinking 1/32 ounce jig.  If you get hung up, simply break off the jig so you don't scare the fish. 

There is no reason to avoid the lake when the water is low.  The link below provides valuable boating information.  There you will find an explanation for what the different  bouys mean so you can navigate the lake with confidence.

There couldn't be a better time of year to be on the lake.  The fall colors are beautiful and the fishing is great.  The lake level, at 10 feet below pull, doesn't affect the scenery or fishing at all.  With a depth finder and map, the lake is not dangerous.  You also have an opportunity to explore it in ways that are rarely possible when it is full. I can only remember three other times that I have been able to  cruise the lake and note potential fishing spots.  Now is the perfect time to take advatage of the low water and walk the shore to find artifacts.

Of Course fishing is my favorite and with the hybrids and stripers everywhere, I'm on the lake as much as possible.  Keg Creek is especially hot now;  I caught a crappie Sunday afternoon in only ten feet of water in Cherokee Creek.  Later on, in the evening, I started throwing hal's flies and caught several hybrids.  You simply never know what you might catch.
