So what do you do if you still have a last-minute gift to get for the fly fisher on your list ... or if you'd like to drop a subtle hint at the eleventh hour?
Let me suggest something!
The last-minute solution
Georgiafishingbooks.com, a book publishing venture operated by North Georgia Trout Online founder and past president Aaron Sago, has what I think is a great solution to that no-more-time-to-shop-for-a-gift dilemma. It comes in the form of instantly downloadable fishing books, and they can be just the thing for procrastinators like me (or maybe you!).
There are several titles in the Georgiafishingbooks.com catalog. I've had a chance to look at a number of them, and the ones I have seen are books that I think any fly fisher will enjoy.
But in light of all the current excitement surrounding delayed harvest fishing I'd like to point out one title in particular -- "Fishing the Chattahoochee Delayed Harvest -- A Detailed Guide," researched and written by none other than Aaron Sago himself.
Exploring Hooch DH with Aaron Sago
I've had the pleasure of fishing the delayed harvest section of the Chattahoochee with Aaron, and let me tell you that you'll have a hard time finding a more knowledgeable person to get you going on the Hooch DH. He knows his stuff, and he knows how to communicate it in a truly useful book too. The result is a great book that any Chattahoochee DH fisherman will love.
Whether you're a beginning Hooch DH fisherman or a seasoned DH veteran, you'll find useful info from one end to the other of this 79-page book. It includes info on flies, on tackle, and on fishing techniques -- all of it tailored to DH. There's info on how the water fishes at different times of year, plus insights on where and when you may find fish other than trout. You'll also find many pages of detailed maps that suggest specific areas to check out as you explore the waters on your own.
There is a wealth of info in "Fishing the Chattahoochee Delayed Haravest." I've fished the Hooch DH since the beginning of the DH program, but I learned new things here.
The comment has been made that this book puts the Chattahoochee delayed harvest trout water "under a high-powered microscope." I think you'll agree -- and if you're looking for that really-and-truly last-minute gift for the fly fisher on your list, you may not need to look any further.
To get the book almost instantly, visit georgiafishingbooks.com and select the title from the on-screen list. Select "download now" at the bottom of the page, provide the requested info, and your last-minute shopping will be done.
Merry Christmas!
Let me take this opportunity to wish you all a very Merry Christmas. I hope that your gifts will include joy and happines -- and some great time on the water too!
