What Clients Say

Don't Take Our Word for It

★★★★★

“We brought zero gear—fly fishing wasn't even on the agenda. They provided everything. Final tally: just short of 50 fish.”

R

Robert Centers
First-Time Visitor

★★★★★

“I fish out West, in Michigan and Maine—when invited to fish in Georgia I had low expectations. Was I ever wrong. Daniel and his team put us on some of the most active, largest trout I've ever seen.”

Patrick Shooltz · 6-Time Client

★★★★★

“My son and I had a great day on the river with Kyle. He made it so enjoyable even though we were novices. We brought my other son two weeks later to do it again!”

FAQ

What's included in a guided trip?

All trips include the use of quality fly fishing gear (rods, reels, flies, waders if needed), expert instruction, and a guide who knows the water inside and out. Full-day trips include a riverside lunch. Just bring yourself, sunglasses, and a fishing license.

Do I need experience to book a trip?

Not at all. We guide everyone from first-timers to experienced anglers. Our guides are patient teachers who'll have you casting in minutes—and catching fish shortly after.

What's the difference between float trips and private water?

Float trips are done from a drift boat on rivers like the Toccoa and Tuckasegee—great for those who prefer not to wade. Private water trips are wade-based on our exclusive leased streams with trophy trout and no crowds.

Can I fish year-round in North Georgia?

Yes. Thanks to North Georgia's temperate climate, trout thrive here year-round. We guide every season—though spring and fall are peak, and summer mornings are best to beat the heat.
