Hello
I have fished on the upper Chattahoochee river several times and my
guess is that these guys were fishing Nacoochee Bend, a private
stretch that is supposed to be trophy water. I've never fished on it
and the only way that you can is through Unicoi Outfitters (and they
were mentioned on the show). I believe that it was for real but hey
what the hell do I know.

Was sick with food poisoning yesterday, so I sat home in front of the tube
all day, between trips.., well you know.

Anyway, I happened across the Fly Masters flyfishing competition on OLN
which was some sort of SouthEastern regional qualifier. In any case, the
river they were fishing was the Catahouchie (I think) in the northern part
of Georgia. For some reason, I am a bit skeptical of their catches - one big
football shaped rainbow of about 22 inches immediately comes to mind, in
addition to several in the 14 -18" range. I'm guessing they were stockers,
and most likely, placed there specifically for the show, er competition. Am
I way off base, or are big fish like that common in that river?
