| The Soque River, a small winding river that runs down from the Blue Ridge mountains past the northern Georgia town of Clarkesville, is perhaps one of the best kept secrets in the angling world today. If tangling with trout in the 3 lb. to 12 lb. class appeals to you, you`ll love the action at Blackhawk, a stretch of the Soque that runs through private land. |
