This Memorial Day, we honor and give thanks to the brave men and women who made the ultimate sacrifice in service to our country. Your courage and dedication will never be forgotten.

May we carry forward your legacy with gratitude and grace.

From our riverside cottage to all who serve, have served, and have lost someone who did — we remember you today and always.

We are seeing some really big trout this year in the Hiawassee river, looking from our deck. They are stalking brook, rainbow and other trout this year. The stocking for April took place during the first week of the month,, and stocking for May should take place in Fires Creek just down river from us, the second week of May, the 5th to the ninth. And that should set us up for all the summer months. We’re really truly excited for a great fishing year!
