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!

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 determined by the guide and reflects all associated costs. A significant factor in pricing is often the type of boat and the corresponding fuel expenses.
