Upstate River Guides 

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!

Capt Andy provided a GREAT trip, had a wonderful setup, was knowledgeable and fun, put us on fish and we had a blast! Highly recommend his services, we cant wait to fish with him again!! -Kirby and Lisa

We had a fantastic time with Andy. Between the two if us, we caught 10 fish!! I will definitely book another outing the next time we come up.

March 29, April 5, May 24. We took the jet boat up Saluda river upstream of lake Murray. Both of those trips were full days. Andy monitored the water levels closely. We were able to travel up shoals that most other boats would shy away from due to his experience and knowledge of the river terrain and boat driving skills. We fished shoals and other places that Andy knew were prime fishing spots. Andy gave me advice on fishing lures, techniques, knots, and stories of many other fishing experiences. He was safe and very aware of other fishermen and pedestrians. Several other fishermen knew him because he is out on the water so much. Fishing. We also fished the saluda, broad, and congaree confluence area. It was similar to the other fishing trips. We spent a half day on this due to traveling further to get to the location. Felt like there were no places the jet boat couldn’t reach. We explored the river shoals and had success. Each trip I learned things about fishing. With Andy I caught my first Striper and it was over 23 inches. There was no doubt that Andy knew much about the fishing community and sport. More importantly I got to relax while being expertly guided to highly probable opportunities of making another great catch.

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!

Captain Andy was very knowledgeable about the Toccoa. Great teacher and was always very friendly and helpful, even when he kept having to fix my tangles and snags. The boat was very nice, and he provided excellent equipment. Overall a great experience. Would recommend to anyone, and I will definitely be booking again.

Andy was the best!! Very attentive and knowledgeable about how to catch the biggest fish. We catch over 20 trout and plenty more we couldn’t land. We couldn’t have caught these fish without Andy’s knowledge and experience!!

Such a great and knowledgeable guide, I have had nothing but great experiences while fishing with Captain Andy.10 out of 10 would recommend him if you wanna have a great time and catch amazing fish.

We had an amazing fishing trip with Andy. He was patient and knowledgeable. Would 100% recommend a Andy
