Colby was a very pleasant, knowledgeable and patient guide. He has grown up in that area and has years of experience on the Toccoa river.ย The river itself was beautiful even though there were no leaves on the trees (must be fantastic in fall! ) My partner caught six trout and was quite happy with his experience fishing freshwater trout . We are saltwater fisherman and there is definitely a difference in the bite and the feel of catching trout( much more subtle )ย I enjoyed myself too even though I didnโt catch any fish. The trip was divided into two parts because of the โ generationโ which is when water is released from the dam ... this causes the river to rise rapidly and move faster . The first part of the trip we met at 630 am and got off the water about 11am and thatโs when the bite was decent. In the afternoon, after the โ generationโ the river was still quite high and I felt that it definitely slowed down the bite . We fished again from 2p-6p . Apparently there is a schedule of when these dam releases are ... If I did it again I would try to schedule on a day when there are no dam releases . I believe the trip would not be broken in that scenario and would be a full continuous 8 hours. Either way , it was nice to break up the trip to go and get a decent lunch and rest .

Thanks Gina!!
We had a great time out on the taccoa with Joe! This guy knows his stuff and taught us a ton about fly fishing and trout in general! Couldnโt have asked for a better guide.
Thanks a lot!!
Booked a float trip with my son before leaving for college. Capt. Joe is knowledgeable and helpful. He instructed my son on fly fishing during the morning float down the Toccoa river. Everything was 5 star and weโd recommend, and book again with him. The only thing that didnโt go perfect was the weather, which neither the guide nor us could control. Even so, had a fantastic time catching fish!
Thanks a lot!
First time with a guide on the Toccoa River. Weโve fished horseshoe and though the trout didnโt get any bigger than 8-10โ, but man were we wrong!! Ask for Colby White and you will not go wrong. Colby not only put us on the fish, but he also shared local history and how-to knowledge that was a huge plus to our adventure. It may not happen with every trip but we landed multiple 20โ+ brown and rainbows and went home with a sack full. Not only was Colby all of the above, he was also extremely helpful, polite, and attentive! We just finished grilling some of our catch and it was phenomenal! Looking forward to our next trip with Colby, next time.

Thanks a lot, Tony!!!
This trip was worth the drive and weathering the cold for! Captain Joe was personable, patient, and extremely knowledgeable! We caught quite a few beautiful trout and Captain Joe even cleaned them for us! We would book this trip again and again if we could!
Thanks a lot !!
