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!

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.

Regardless of your experience
Half Day Float Trip – Toccoa River on July 8, 20252 adults
No matter what your experience level is, you can learn and have fun. I literally had no responsibilities except making sure I had my fishing license and catching fish. Joe put me right on top of the fish. He was entertaining and fun and I would definitely do it again.

Joseph was great
Half Day Float Trip – Toccoa River on October 17, 20252 adults
Wife and I wasn’t expecting too much given the water issues, but expectations were exceeded. Joseph knew where the holes were, tried different bates and ended up catching 10 trout. Had a blast!
