Chattahoochee River
The Chattahoochee River forms the southern half of the Alabama and Georgia border, as well as a portion of the Florida border. It is a tributary of the Apalachicola River, a relatively short river formed by the confluence of the Chattahoochee and Flint rivers and emptying from Florida into Apalachicola Bay in the Gulf of Mexico. The Chattahoochee River is about 430 miles long. The Chattahoochee, Flint, and Apalachicola rivers together make up the Apalachicola–Chattahoochee–Flint River Basin (ACF River Basin). The Chattahoochee makes up the largest part of the ACF's drainage basin.

While some trout anglers may turn their noses in the air at the prospect of fishing for the standard, nine-inch trout (SNIT) straight out of the hatchery truck, most of us fishermen — perhaps with less discerning tastes — can’t resist the allure of piles of hungry trout, stacked in holes like cordwood and ready…
