We offer Guided Half and Full Day Float Trips on the Toccoa River in Blue Ridge, GA. The Toccoa is a year-round fishery. We target rainbow and brown trout with light spinning rods and fly rods. We are strictly a catch and release only guide service.We provide all the gear and tackle. All experience levels are welcome, including children ages 10+ as long as they are accompanied by an adult. All anglers 16 years of age and older will need valid Georgia Fishing Licenses. Clients are responsible for purchasing their own licenses. We are flexible on start times for Half Day Floats. That said, there will always be a better time to fish. Guides will inform clients the night before around 5PM on when we think the best time to fish will be, but we are also generally open to fishing at less-than-optimal times (within reason) if that is what clients want to do. Full Day Floats typically start between 7-9AM depending on the time of year. All boats will have a cooler on board with ice, water, and room for anything clients want to bring. Hat and sunglasses recommended. Bring rain jackets just in case. Guides have emergency ponchos on board in case clients don't have rain jackets. All guides have first aid on board. We use non-motorized drift boats for these trips. Each boat seats 2 plus a guide. The guide sits in the middle and rows. 1 client sits in the front and the other sits in the back. These boats are very stable, comfortable, and allow clients to fish safely from either a seated or standing position. Feel free to send me a message if you have any questions before you book. Please also message for groups of more than 4 as we can likely accommodate with advance notice. Once you've booked, I will touch base ASAP to answer any initial questions you may have and make sure you have my #. From there, I typically don't reach out again until the night before around 5PM when I call to go over specifics for the next day (meeting time, location, etc).

Great experience
Half Day Toccoa Float 2 People on July 8, 2025 • 2 adults
We had an amazing trip with Blue Ridge Troutfitters! From the very start, communication was top-notch — Zach made everything easy and smooth leading up to the trip. But the real highlight was our guide, Joe Pickett. Joe was not only incredibly knowledgeable about the river and the fish, but also one of the most personable and engaging guides we’ve ever had. We caught a ton of fish, but just as importantly, we walked away better fly fishermen. Joe took the time to explain techniques, offer insightful tips, and help us really understand the ā€œwhyā€ behind each approach. His passion for the sport and the local waters was obvious — and contagious. Whether you’re a beginner or experienced angler, I can’t recommend Blue Ridge Troutfitters and Joe Pickett highly enough. We’ll definitely be booking with them again!
