For mine and my son’s first time trout fishing; this was an AMAZING TRIP. Capt Andy shiwed us the how and what baits to use and put us on the fish. We caught almost 20 trout but on kept 6. And as first timers my son and I both had the grand slam on trout. caught all 3 species in the Toccoa River. 10 out 10 recommend. Will definitely be doing this again.
My husband and I had such a great time on our fishing trip! Andy was absolutely wonderful—so knowledgeable and easy to be around. He stayed cool, calm, and collected the entire time, even when we showed up late (thanks to my phone not updating with the time zone 😅). He made the whole experience enjoyable and stress-free, and we learned a lot along the way. Highly recommend booking with Andy if you’re looking for a fun and memorable trip!
My husband and I had an amazing time on our guided trout fishing trip! From the moment we arrived, Andy made us feel welcome and completely at ease, even though I was a beginner and my husband had more experience. The scenery was absolutely breathtaking, and Andy knew all the best spots to find the trout — we were both catching fish in no time! Andy is patient, knowledgeable, and passionate. He provided great tips, handled all the setup, and made sure we were both comfortable and having fun. Highly recommend this trip for couples looking to enjoy the outdoors together and try something new — whether you're seasoned anglers or complete beginners!
My son and I had a great time on the Toccoa with Captain Andy! We learned a lot and he was patient with our limited experience level. Highly recommend fishing the beautiful Toccoa and especially with Andy!
Had an incredible time out on the Toccoa River with Capt. Andy! We came in from out of state and didn’t know what to expect but were extremely happy with everything. Weather was nice fish were biting. Not to mention Andy was super knowledgeable, professional, and made the whole trip fun and relaxing. We caught some amazing brown and rainbow trout, more than we had really planned for if I’m being honest. If you’re looking for a top-notch fishing experience, this is the guide to book. Highly recommend!
