It was a pleasure to hit the North Georgia mountains this Thanksgiving holiday. The fall weather was brilliant.

I had a chance to meet up with Bob Riggins on Friday and we fished the Soque river. The fishing was surprisingly good but unfortunately neither of us landed a fish when I had the DSLR out. Oh well, Bob will surely post some of the point-and-shoot grip-and-grins from his Pentax waterproof. Some respectable rainbows were caught that day. What a blast. Also, for those interested, we caught a few small wild trout, including a beautiful rainbow fingerling, which proves that there is natural reproduction in that river.

Here are a few shots of the Soque River (tripod mounted in the water with the full DSLR flash setup, whew that takes guts let me tell you). Typical North Georgia river with heavy brush/cover and tight fishing with short rods.
