About Your Trip

Enjoy a full-day trip with your guide, Tad, exploring the very best wild Trout streams that Georgia has to offer. Regardless of your experience level, if you enjoy watching big Trout hit your dry flies in crystal-clear mountain water, then this is the perfect trip for you!

On this trip, you'll go after an "Appalachian Slam"—catching a Rainbow, a Brown, and a Brook Trout in one day. With over thirty years of fly-fishing experience, Tad will do everything he can to give you the best chances—but once the fish is on, it's all you!
You'll be fishing private water, which means you'll have a prime opportunity to catch trophy trout that most anglers can only dream about. Certain species, such as Brook Trout, can be hard to find in heavily-fished public streams, making a private water trip even more appealing. Whether you're an advanced fly fisherman looking for a personal best, or a first-timer aiming to learn your cast, Tad is the perfect guide to the rivers of Northern Georgia.

Tad will come prepared with everything you need for a perfect day, including waders, boots, rods, reels, tippet, leader, and a wide variety of flies. Of course, you are encouraged to bring your own fly-fishing gear if you have it. In addition to gear, bring along proper clothing and a willingness to learn, and you'll have everything in place for the fly-fishing trip of a lifetime.

Each trip’s price is set by the guide and factors in all of their costs.

Once you book the trip, we will connect you directly with the guide to go over any additional details. In the meantime, our team is always available to answer your questions via email, text, chat, or call!
