Conserving, protecting and restoring cold-water watersheds of North Georgia.
THE FISH, THE FISHING, THE FUN & MORE WHERE COLD WATER FLOWS
It's not Alaska ... or the Seychelles ... or the Amazon ... or the wide-open, deep and blue Pacific
On the evening of April 24, 2026, Blue Ridge Mountain Trout Unlimited (BRMTU) and Blue Ridge Mountain Arts Association (BRMAA) cooperatively present CATCH IT! ON FILM ... a selection of regionally curated short films that discover the fish, the fishing, the fun and more embedded where cold-water flows from the ridges and through the valleys of the North Georgia ranges of the southern Appalachian Mountains.
