Spend a full day with your expert guide, Tad, discovering some of Georgia’s finest wild Trout streams.

During your adventure, you'll aim to complete the “Appalachian Slam” by catching a Rainbow, Brown, and Brook Trout all in a single day. With Tad’s 30+ years of fly-fishing expertise, he’ll maximize your chances of success, but once you’ve hooked a fish, the challenge is all yours!
You’ll fish on exclusive private waters, providing an exceptional opportunity to land trophy Trout that are rarely encountered on public streams. Species like the elusive Brook Trout are often scarce in heavily fished public areas, making this private water access a major advantage. Whether you're seeking a new personal record or casting your first line, Tad is the ideal guide for exploring Northern Georgia’s rivers.
Tad supplies all the necessary equipment, including waders, boots, rods, reels, tippets, leaders, and an extensive selection of flies. However, if you have your own fly-fishing gear, feel free to bring it along. Pair your gear with appropriate clothing and an open mind ready to learn, and you’re set for an unforgettable day of fly fishing in some of the most beautiful trout habitats Georgia has to offer.
