Northern Georgia is home to some of the finest Trout fisheries in the world, so it's no surprise that the 93-mile Toccoa River features on the agenda of so many anglers. In the upper river you'll be catching and releasing some monster creatures that have been allowed to grow to incredible sizes. Hit the lower part, out of Ellijay, and you'll fish deep waters accessible only by boat.
Fishing the Toccoa River is a joy to behold, with Rainbow, Brook, and Brown Trout biting at the end of your line for a fun-filled fishing experience. If you're looking for some diversity, then combine your Toccoa River fishing trip with a visit to Lake Blue Ridge, and go after a range of Bass, Walleye, Perch, Catfish, and many more! Try wading, drift fishing, or even fly fishing, and there's no end to what you can catch.
Hop aboard a charter and spend anywhere from four to eight hours on the water. Experienced anglers can even enjoy the river for an extended period, with the chance to go lodging in Ellijay too. Spend days on end getting acquainted with the fish, and get your fill of fishing.
Whether you're a beginner or a pro, your professional fishing guide will make sure you have a memorable day out. Come and discover this tranquil corner of paradise and get your fish on!
Rules & Regulations
All anglers over the age of 16 on the Toccoa River must be in possession of a valid Georgian fishing license. If you're looking to go after the state's famous Trout population, then you'll need an additional Trout permit. Buy them both at the same time and don't forget to bring them along.
Your professional guide will make sure that you keep up with the latest fishing regulations, so get in touch before you come aboard to find out whether you'll need to release your fish or not.
