Jacks River - Gear, Tackle and Flies
Fly Line:
We recommend either a 4, 5 and 6 weight fly lines for the Jacks River in Georgia. You only
need a floating fly line. Since you must hike to its waters, we recommend only one rod.
Fly Rod:
We recommend either a 4, 5 or 6 weight fly rod for the respective line size you choose to
use. The 4 weight fly rod should bi a medium action, 8 to 9 foot fly rod. The 5 weight fly rod
should in a medium to med-fast action and a 8 to 9 foot length. The 6 weight fly rod should
be a medium-fast to fast action for large nymphs and light streamers. It should be at least 9
foot in length.
Fly Reel:
The fly reel used should be for each of the 4, 5 and 6 weight lines you use and each have a
very good drag. We prefer disc drags but there are other types that will work as well. It
should be smooth.
Leaders:
Leaders should size 2X to 6X and be from 7 and a half to 12 feet long. Use shorter leaders
for streamers.
Tippet:
You should have spare tippet in 2X and 6X. Some anglers prefer fluorocarbon but mono is
fine.
Waders:
Waders are preferred for fly fishing the Jacks River. We prefer the breathable type. Warm
weather would permit wet wading.
Wading Boots:
Wading boots will be needed. Felt soles work best but you may want to consider the new
rubber soles.
Landing Net:
A landing net would be preferred by most anglers but not absolutely necessary.
Trout Flies:
Perfect Flies are recommend because they are the best trout flies you can purchase. We
have specific imitations of every food that exist in the Jacks River. If you haven't already tried
Perfect Flies, we certainly hope you will give them a try. You will find they are very effective
on the wild trout in this stream.
