There are some good troot streams in upper GA & SC and lower NC (3 corners area). Upper GA is where they filmed Deliverance BTW. Pretty country. Not so pretty people.
There is some really good walk and wade fly fishing to be had around Brevard, NC in the 'high' country up and around Pisgah. Some nice sized fish up to 24". You just really need to know where you are going. That country is NOT the place to go exploring or get lost in. The locals will find you and escort you out. They don't take too kindly to Yankee strangers in them there parts. Heaven forbid if you stumble upon a working still or active grow op.
The silver lining is that the BBQ in that area is the best in the world. It's unbelievably good. I'd take it over the best of the best TX or KC BBQ any day.

This is very true. We stumbled upon a Sky valley mobile meth lab once while out trying to find river access (near Cracker Bar...surprise surprise). This was our reactionInstead of cops....it was Tweakers with shotguns. Nope! Back it up. Back. it. up. backitup. This topic reminds me of a wild night camping in Pisgah outside of Brevard. The gf, lab and I were out fly fishing and camping up there one weekend. After fishing all day into the dark, we picked a WAY back road and random campsite for the night. We had a nice quiet spot and a nice fire. After a great dinner, the gf and lab were happy and content....until all hell broke lose. Apparently it was bear season and the locals were running DOZENS of GPS collared dogs. In the dark, we had picked a camping spot directly in the center of a huge berry patch loaded with bears. It was pure mayhem for about 30 minutes. My lab was chained to the truck and his chain blew through the fire. Burning logs went everywhere. So I had an actual forest fire; screaming & scared gf; pissed off lab; 14 drunk rednecks; 4 trucks; many guns and a whole pack of amped up hunting dogs to deal with all at once. It was a true chit show. But - I did score a jar of shine off of one of those good ol' boys, so it was kinda worth it. The gf did not agree.

It's not just georgia...most of the states in the banjo belt do a better job with common sense fish management. And with way less license revenue. My "combo" tag for fishing and hunting was 50 bucks Here in Arkansas we got 2 rivers that are well managed for trout. The spring and the white. Both have rainbows, Brooks, and browns. 10lb fish a fairly common with a realistic shot at something over 20. The white tribs even have a couple former world record browns caught out of them.
