Along the way, he shared the history of the Toccoa, great stories and commentary about fishing and his writing experiences, which added another enjoyable layer to the day and punctuated the fishing beautifully. I brought along a friend who is very particular, and by the end of the trip he was already talking about organizing another outing for a friend of his who has mobility issues--which says a lot. I loved the day, and Joe was truly the icing on the cake.

Blue Ridge, GA , is known for its awesome fly fishing environment. I myself have never had the opportunity to try this activity, but am so intrigued by the culture built around this sport. Kyle was informative and very knowledgeable as well as friendly. If felt like I wanted to "hang"! This is a nice shop with state on the art equipment. Although a bit small with a limited selection, Kyle said he had more options if ordering was necessary. The company offers guided fishing tours with the guarantee of a fun filled local fishing experience. The reviews on Yelp seem to reflect this outcome. The prices seem to be in line with the other shops in the area. Just remember, nowadays, it's all about the personal interactions the create the ultimate customer experience. Kudos Kyle! See you soon.

The next morning our guide came and picked us up we used their equipment which was all very good from the waders to their rods and reels. We were there after some rain but the water was clear and we figured we were going to catch some good fish. As we fished our guide kept telling us we were getting bites but we could tell it was rocks in the stream. We fished all day and lost maybe 3 fish and landed 3 fish. My wife hooked up on 3 good fish 1 broke her off on A log but the other 2 should have been netted but our guide slapped at them with the net and broke them off. I called the owner of the guide service to tell him how disappointed we were with our trip and asked if we could book another trip and have him Guide us. He told me he had talked to our guide and that fly fishing was not for us and he would notebook us again. Then he hung up the phone on me. I attempted to call him back and he would not answer. If you want to catch fish and have a good Trip I recommend you stay away from these guys, all they are after is your money .
