Toccoa River at Blue Ridge, GA
Permitted and supported by the
USDA/Chattahoochee National Forest

The
Toccoa River -- north
Georgia's longest cold-water river -- collects springs, seeps, branches
and creeks in the high forestlands of Fannin and Union counties. All
that clear and cold water eventually grows large enough
to provide winter,
spring, summer and fall opportunities to float-fish for rainbow, brown
and brook trout in
both the upper and lower river, separated by still more warm-water
fishing opportunities in scenic Lake Blue Ridge.
The beautiful "upper
river" float trips take place on
the Toccoa through the community of Dial. Along its path here, it
flows through pastoral lands and among high ridges -- all adding to the
outstanding experience found by fly-rodders and spin-tackle anglers
alike. The 4-mile float includes
the mile-long
"delayed harvest" section
of the Toccoa, where
catch-and-release fishing regulations from Nov. 1 to May15 keep fish
numbers high and the action swinging!
Brookies, browns and 'bows make up
the catch all along the float, with fish averaging 12 to 15 inches,
along with some true trophy trout caught frequently.
After
collecting in
Lake Blue
Ridge, the Toccoa pours from Blue Ridge Dam into
a
14-mile-long tailwater trout fishery
that begins
just beyond the city limits of Blue Ridge and ends at the quaint border town
of McCayesville. The year-round cold
water of the
"lower
Toccoa"
supports a prolific bug
and forage population that feeds a thriving trout fishery that challenges the
reputation for Georgia's finest tailwater trout fishery.
Both
wild and
stocked brown and rainbow trout
take flies of all kinds on the lower Toccoa , while our
anglers follow
strict catch-and-release fishing ethics. Strip
streamers, tumble nymphs and float dry flies through boulder runs, deep
pools, shady laydowns and rippling shoals. Catches commonly include fish
in the 10- to 12-inch range, but trophy brown and rainbow trout -- 15 inches
and longer! -- frequently surprise anglers with smashing strikes,
spectacular jumps and driving runs. Even larger trout are sometimes seen
... and hooked!
Float Trips Operated Year 'Round!
The
float-trips offered by Reel Angling Adventures puts you in touch in all

full-day (8 to 10 hours) and half-day (5 hours) trips, dependent on the
powerhouse generation flows. Trips
