Is the Chattahoochee River Safe to Wade in November?

Featured Replies

I was planning a trip down south for thanksgiving weekend. I was wondering if the water down in the Chattahoochee (I was thinking about fishing around Bull Shoals WMA for shoalies and redeyes) is warm enough to wade. Sorry if I sound dumb, I’m just a silly northerner who hasn’t fished in that part of the world before :) 

 

if it is too cold, what would be my next best option? I would like to catch some of the riverine species in Georgia, but I’m also willing to compromise. I just want to catch some bass; trout fishing in Maryland gets old pretty quickly lol

I saw this too late but November is usually the line for wet wading in the Chattahoochee.  I fish there all summer with a kayak and usually get out and wade.  You'll catch Shoal Bass, Alabama Bass and if you're lucky a Chattahoochee Bass, that used to be called redeyes and maybe a LM also.
