About this water
Jacks River in the Cohutta Wilderness is a remote, wild trout stream requiring a significant hike to access, rewarding anglers with pristine conditions and wild rainbow and brown trout. The river flows through a rugged gorge with numerous pools, runs, and riffles. Small dry flies and nymphs are most effective in this backcountry setting.
