1 WINTER FISHING ON THE TOCCOA RIVER
2 Lower Toccoa This section lies below Lake Blue Ridge and the TVA hydro-electric dam. Access to the dam can be found at Tammen park located about 400 yards below the dam. Lush aquatic vegetation provides a fertile habitat for various species of insects. More common hatches include midges, blue wing olives, and small caddis.

6 Floating Access on the Lower Toccoa
7 Floating: Access on the Lower Toccoa Tammen park canoe launch Curtis Switch boat ramp Horseshoe Bend park boat ramp Mccayesville city park boat ramp
8 Hatches near the dam. The most common hatch will generally be various types of midges. The best hatch occurs after a full generation as the water recedes to normal levels. Feeding will typically occur sub-surface or near the film. Other insects to consider are Baetis (BWOs), Caddis and Cranefly.

21 Indicator with two droppers My personal go-to rig for fishing the Toccoa. I like to deploy small dries and midges when floating with clients because it s as close to a sure thing as anything else. Aim small, miss small Pheasant tail with Zebra Midge or Rainbow Warrior. Olive Hare s Ear with Soft Hackle.
22 Drop-Shot The point of drop-shotting is to get weightless flies close to the bottom without actually touching it. Utilizing split-shot on an elongated tag to present flies vertically in the water column. Any unweighted fly pattern.
23 Swing-rig Swinging Flies can produce some of the most exciting fishing and is a very useful tactic even when fish are rising. It is also a smart way for beginners to speed up the learning curve because less casting is needed. Tandem soft hackle rigs. Small buggers and leeches.
24 A note on junk food
25 A note on junk food Misconceptions: Used for those who struggle to match the hatch or generally don t know what to do. Used by rednecks who have recently taken up fly fishing. Used to catch pellet heads and fresh stockers.
26 A note on junk food Misconceptions: Used for those who struggle to match the hatch or generally don t know what to do. Wrong.. This is the dumbest assessment. Like any category of flies, junk has its place and time when needed.
27 A note on junk food Misconceptions: Used by rednecks who have recently taken up fly fishing. So what? At least its not corn.
28 A note on junk food Misconceptions: Used to catch pellet heads and fresh stockers. While often true, many stocked fish will begin to hone in on naturally drifting insects and forget about junk food. Although I often utilize junk food to draw attention to another natural fly in my rig. Call it an attractor rig.
29 A note on junk food a second helping. Using junk food as sub-surface indicators. Useful as attractors for other flies. Tactically placed in fly boxes to throw off the attention of anyone sneaking a peek at your secret flies. Gets em everytime.
