I've had good luck this time of year with a size 12-14 Tellico nymph and size 14-16 brown/gray EHC.

Thanks - I guess I was thinking of where to access, where to fish, etc.  Thanks for the tip!!

I've camped at Oconee State Park several times. 
Burrells Ford and the Russell Bridge (Hwy 28) are good nearby accesses...
If yer fishin' on the weekend plan on walkin' at least 30-45 minutes
if you want to avoid the crowds.

Russell Bridge up to Reed Creek is DH.   Burrells Ford is a year round stretch ifn you want a few fer the pan.
