CATCH AND RELEASE FISHING

Experience the Chattahoochee in a way few visitors get to—on one mile of private water at the beginning of the beautiful Nacoochee Valley.

Spend a half or full day fishing a peaceful, scenic stretch of river away from the crowds. Whether you're an experienced angler looking for new water or simply want to spend the day fishing in one of North Georgia's most beautiful settings, this experience gives you the freedom to explore the river at your own pace.

Trip Options

Half-Day Fishing Access
Enjoy up to four hours of access to our private stretch of water.

Full-Day Fishing Access
Make a day of it with extended access to explore and fish the entire mile of private water.

Fly Fishing & Conventional Tackle Welcome

Our private water is open to both fly fishing and conventional tackle. Whether you prefer a fly rod or traditional spinning tackle, you're welcome to fish using your preferred method as long as all conservation and fish-handling guidelines are followed.

Conservation-Focused Fishing

We want this section of the river to remain a healthy fishery for years to come. All fishing is catch and release, and anglers are expected to use fish-friendly practices at all times.

  • Catch and release only

  • Barbless hooks required

  • Fly fishing and conventional tackle accepted

  • Proper fish-handling practices required

  • Minimize the amount of time fish are out of the water

  • Respect the river, wildlife, and surrounding property

Guided Fishing Trips

Want some local knowledge or a little extra help on the water? Guided trips are available upon request.

Guided experiences include the necessary fishing gear, so you can simply show up ready to fish. Our guides can help with technique, reading the water, and getting the most out of your time on the river.

A Different Way to Experience the Nacoochee Valley

This isn't crowded public fishing access. It's an opportunity to slow down, explore a beautiful stretch of private river, and experience the Nacoochee Valley from the water.

Choose a half-day or full-day experience and come fish the beginning of one of

North Georgia's most historic and beautiful valleys.
