This is an excellent little press. It is typicial of Snow Peak. Light weight, and no frills. It just does the job and it does it very very well. It has the usual titanium fold out handles and mesh stuff sack. It is easy to clean. I do not suggest using it directly on top of your stove as it is narrow and not very stable on the stove top. Outside of that you can't beat it for a great cup of joe to get you going in the morning. FYI about 4 heaping TBS of coffee should get the job done, and let it steep for around 4 to 6 minutes.

Great blog! Ive got a question. My buddy and I are planning a trip to Cohutta in two weeks. We are spending 10 days hiking and fishing the Conasauga. Ive never fished in northern Georgia this time of year and was hoping you might give me some advice on fly selection for this particular river. So far Ive been planning on some quill gordons, blue quills, black stonefly, then assortment of wooly buggers, stimulators, etc. Any others that you would suggest? Also, and probably even more importantly, do you have any favorite pieces of water along the Conasauga or its tribs? I wouldnt normally ask but considering how little pressure the area gets, I hope you wont mind sharing a few insider tips to help this fellow angler enjoy the Cohuttas as much as you obviously do.

I would really appreciate some advice!
On a separate, more general note, alot of literature Ive read on the area recently seems to be saying that the Conasauga used to be a great trout fishery but that in recent years its taken a hard hit from the drought and the fishing has suffered drastically. Has this been your experience? Given how wild these fish are, I fully intend on catching next to nothing, but I'm just wondering/hoping there are fish there to catch.
Thanks so much in advance!

Back in the 1970s when I lived in Gilmer County, one of my best friend's father was an avid fly fisherman of native brook trout. He could always go into the wilderness and catch his limit. That was the 1970s. You'd have to compare notes with current fans of the sport to see what things are like these days.
ReplyDeleteI like snow peak products. Titanium French Press is very useful……
