PLAN YOUR TRIP

Fannin County isn’t called the “Trout Capital of Georgia” by accident. With so much fishable water and a tremendous amount of diversity, Blue Ridge, and the surrounding area, offers endless opportunities for anglers.

FLOAT TRIPS

Enjoy a leisurely full or half-day float on one of our incredible rivers. Our guides will do all the work as you cast dry flies to rising rainbows, target large browns with big streamers or cover lots of water with a dry/dropper rig picking up all the river has to offer. This is our most popular trip, and dates fill up quickly.

WADE TRIPS

Wade trips are one of the best ways to explore the vast number of fisheries in our area. The lower Toccoa is a stellar fishery. The upper Toccoa, a freestone stream, is always a solid option. It’s also a great way to discover some of our smaller creeks for truly wild fish in one of the prettiest parts of the country.

lake trips

Our lake trips are done on one of several local lakes. We target all species with both fly and traditional tackle.Bass, bream and striped bass are all excellent game fish and provide a nice alternative to our trout trips. Winter striper trips can be really incredible with fish well over 25 inches, but our lakes fish well for other species year round.

LOCAL GUIDES

All of our guides grew up in Blue Ridge. They’re not transplants looking to make a quick buck pretending they know these fisheries. They’re locals who’ve had knowledge passed down from their fathers, grandfathers and great-grandfathers. These waters shaped them into who they are today. From the time they were old enough to hold a rod they’ve been fishing – long before Fannin County was considered the “Trout Capital of Georgia.” While they started at a very young age, years of perfecting their craft on our local waters led to a maturation in their skills and method of angling. The result is this area’s finest guides who understand our area better than anyone. The result is Appalachian Anglers – Blue Ridge’s only locally owned and operated guide service.
