From Ellijay, you can fish the Toccoa float section in 30-40 minutes via Highway 5, or hit the Etowah private water in about 45 minutes south.
Ellijay anglers like wade trips on the smaller water — the Etowah and Noontootla pull the most local interest. Float trips are popular with apple-festival weekenders bringing groups.
Whether this is your first cast or you've been fishing for decades, our guides match the trip and the water to your skill level. We provide everything — rods, reels, flies, waders if you need them, a guided meal on the river. Just show up with a fishing license and we handle the rest.
