Local outfitters and guides help you learn why trout fishing -- especially fly-fishing -- is a growing sport among men and women in the Southern Appalachian Mountains of Georgia, where rainbow, brown and brook trout thrive in the region's cold-water streams and rivers. 

Trout Fest Program Tents present expanded programs including mountain biking and kayaking. Professional fishing guides and outfitters share their fishing programs that tell our visitors what they need to know for a successful day of trout fishing in the Trout Capital of Georgia.
