From Gainesville

The Drive From Gainesville

From Gainesville, take 985 north to 365, then 384 toward the Soque private water. The Etowah is roughly 70 minutes via 985 → 400. Lake Lanier striper trips launch closer to home.

Gainesville is one of our hot zones for Lake Lanier striper bookings — boat-based fly fishing on the lake itself, 1-2 anglers per boat. The trout side splits between Soque and Etowah.

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.
