Soque River
Georgia's Soque River has gained fame in trout fishing circles for producing trophy rainbow and brown trout. Almost all of the river is private, although access through commercial fishing lodges is available. Small stretches are public within the Chattahoochee National Forest. A portion of the river is also within the Tray Mountain Wilderness. The Soque River and its watershed are located entirely within the county boundaries of Habersham County in northeast Georgia. The Soque is a tributary of the Chattahoochee River. Portions of the river run along State Route 197.

Hopefully, wherever it is that you are reading this issue of GON, the air conditioner is on full blast and working just fine, and you have a cold glass of sweet tea close by. Without a doubt, the dog days of August in the Peach State are about as hot and miserable as they can…
