Fishing the Jacks River in Georgia

The Jacks River in Georgia is formed by its south and west forks and then flows for 19 miles to the Conasauga River. About 15 of those miles are in the Cohutta Wilderness Area, offering public trout fishing for those willing to hike to reach its secluded waters. Wild rainbow trout are the main fish species. Most average 7 to 12 inches with some larger. Big brown trout are also present but they are not easy to catch. There are about 8 trails leading to the Jacks River, and once there a trail follows it through the wilderness area, crossing the stream 44 times without bridges. The stream stays cool during the summer and makes for a great wilderness fishing expedition.
