Trout fishing in North Georgia is a must for everyone who’s into freshwater fishing. The “Peach State” is famous for its amazing Trout fishing opportunities. With more than 4,000 miles of streams rich with Brown, Rainbow, and Brook, it’s impossible to avoid Trout – and why would you want to?
Where to Go
There are plenty of rivers and creeks which make for perfect fishing spots, but you need to know where you’re actually allowed to fish. If you’re not familiar with the area, you’ll easily find yourself trespassing on private land. That’s why it’s best to always go with a professional guide.
To help you narrow it down, head to one of these 3 recommended spots: Noontootla Creek (great if you want a spot with less fishing pressure and more privacy), Toccoa River, and Mountaintown Creek (close to Ellijay).
Which Trip To Choose
You can ask your fishing guide to adjust the fishing tactics to your skill level. With a knowledgeable guide, even wading won’t be a problem, because he’ll target spots with higher fish stocks. Using a floating boat is great if you want to try out different fishing spots, or be able to quickly move away if a spot is occupied by other anglers.
What makes these trips most exciting is probably fly fishing! As it’s very popular in this area, fishing guides don’t expect everyone to be experienced in this type of fishing. They’ll happily show you the basics. What’s also different in North Georgia, compared to other states, is that most guides provide fly fishing equipment.
What to Expect
Most fishing trips start early in the morning, when fish movement is high. All fishing guides in the area will provide you with rods and reels. The only exception may be fly fishing equipment, so always check if this is included or not. If you’re planning to go wading, bring your waders and boots. You can usually keep the catch but this depends on the season and fish size.
Whether you’re fly fishing, spinning, or using bait tackle, you can be sure you’ll land a tasty Trout and enjoy an epic meal after the trip. Trout fishing in North Georgia has it all: huge Rainbow, elusive Brown, and aggressive Brook. What are you waiting for?

Do yourself a favor if you havenโt fished Carters Lake and hire a guide. I caught two strippers each over 36 inches plus a half dozen spotted bass on a four hour trip with Captain Len Slay on Carters Lake in October 2023

Great. This year (2022) was a little on the hot (above average) side and there is always the chance of thunderstorms when that hot!

Worth every penny to have an experienced guide. The float trip was so much nicer than just a wade trip.

I would start with a guided outing to learn where the fish are and what the fish a biting. When you see it with your own eyes, it is different than reading about it on the internet.

1st go with Captain Jeromy Seabolt. He will show you how he looks for fish on his electronics so that youโll know what youโre looking for when you go by yourself.
