My son and I went on a backpack trip for Coosa Bass over the weekend. We packed in a few miles up the river after school on Friday evening and got camp set up.
After getting camp set up, we had about an hour to fish before dark. Cardinal flowers in bloom are always a good sign it's time to be on the creek looking for bass
This area is a wilderness area now, but back in the 1920s and 30s this area was logged extensively. Narrow gauge railroads were used to remove the timber from the area to the sawmills. There is still evidence of the logging to be seen after all this time.
Wow, beautiful country and bass! Thanks for sharing, I had never heard of that species of bass. Guessing very similar habits to the smallmouth up north.
Looks like it was one heck of an enjoyable time!
In NC, I had a blast with some bass in a river. Outside that, it's been lakes.
Pretty cool. Thanks for sharing.
