Wade into the rivers and creeks of the Blue Ridge watershed with your guide, Tad, and get ready to hook up on some fun and hard-fighting fish! This region is known as the fly-fishing capital of Georgia, and for good reason. Practice your sightcasting technique and watch champion Rainbows, Browns, and Brookies rise to hit your dry flies in crystal-clear water, then get ready for the fight of your life! On this trip, 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. He'll 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. Read More
