By Richard Simms | MINERAL BLUFF, Ga. — The bright fluorescent green strike indicator drifted and bobbed in the gentle current. Suddenly the tiny piece of floating yarn just barely paused and dipped slightly. I brought the rod up quickly and found myself firmly attached to a rainbow trout, its bright reflection in the crystal-clear water catching the sunlight like a mirror.
