Trout Fishing North Georgia offers half and full day float trips on the Toccoa River, near Blue Ridge, Georgia. Captain Joe offers both fly-fishing and light spinning gear on every trip.

Guests will enjoy fishing for Trout from the comfortable Aluminum frame that sits atop two, 16' Aire pontoons. Not only is the boat more stable than conventional hard drift boats and dories, it's also a better platform for older folks and kids to fish from.

While he doesn't have the luxury of guiding every single day, it's safe to say that living just minutes from the river gives Joe the chance to fish the river just about every day. He's built much of his word of mouth business on the simple fact that he is likely the only person who fishes the Toccoa more than 280 days a year. After discovering guide work in saltwater in college, beginning to guide on the river after college was a natural transition.

For Joe, the best part of his job is giving his clients the opportunity to experience the stunning beauty of the Toccoa and the surrounding Blue Ridge Mountains while landing some Trout too. There's nothing better than watching a client hook, land and release a trophy Trout! He's often been accused of getting more excited than the clients themselves when they hook up on a big fish.

The fish range anywhere from 8 to 14-inches long on average, with any given day's 'big fish' typically pushing 20-inches or more.

All rods, reels, flies, lures, tackle and other fishing gear is prepared for guests. You need to acquire a valid Georgia fishing license before the trip. Everything else is covered by the charter.

Novice or master angler, a trip with Joe is a rewarding experience for anyone. Book a trip today and explore North Georgia the right way, rod in hand!

Expert Guide, Great Fishing, and Lasting Memories
Half Day Float Trip – Toccoa River on April 17, 20261 adult1 child
Captain Joe took my son and I out on the Toccoa River for a trout fishing trip we won’t forget. From the start, he made everything easy and enjoyable. Joe is super patient, and clearly knows the river inside and out. We caught fish, learned a ton about trout fishing and had a great time doing it. He shared tips and techniques that actually made a difference, and he was especially great with my son, making sure he stayed engaged and had fun the whole trip. If you’re looking for a knowledgeable guide who knows how to put you on fish and create a memorable experience, Captain Joe is the one to call. Highly recommend!

Joe is awesome
Half Day Float Trip – Toccoa River on September 18, 20252 adults
Joe was our guide and we had a blast. Between my buddy and me, we caught 9 rainbows and a few creek chubs. Joe was a blast and is quite entertaining. He was so accommodating and patient with us as we’re not the best fishermen. I would absolutely, 100% recommend him and will most certainly book him for our trip next year. Don’t hesitate even a little… this guy is the best.

Wonderful day
Half Day Float Trip – Toccoa River on May 8, 20262 adults
Fishing with Joe was great. He helped each of us catch fish, roll cast, and untangled up when we messed up. We will definitely be back for more instruction. I’m sure with more experience we would catch even more.
