Fightingtown Creek
North Georgia's Premier Private Trout Creek
Fightingtown Creek winds through the western edge of Fannin County, flowing clear and cold through wooded hollows before joining the Ocoee River. Along the private stretches, property owners actively stock the creek with rainbow and brown trout, creating an exceptional fishing experience exclusively for guests staying in creek-side cabins. This is private property — access is reserved for renters of the homes that sit directly on the water. The creek's mix of riffles, deep pools, and undercut banks makes it ideal for fly fishing, wade fishing, and lazy summer swimming.
Water runs high and fast — use weighted nymphs and fish the slower edges.
Early morning is best. Trout hold in shaded pools and undercut banks to escape heat.
Peak season. Trout move up from the Ocoee. Dry flies work well in the evenings.
Slower action but big fish are possible. Midges and small nymphs near the bottom.
