North Georgia is known by many anglers as a great place for trout fishing. There are numerous creeks, rivers, and streams and many of them are stocked each year to keep the numbers up. Quite often you can find a place on your own but first time travelers to the area will generally have the best experience if they hire one of the skilled guides in the area.

Grab your favorite bait, a pole, and your sense of adventure and head to the Blue Ridge Mountains in Ellijay and Chatsworth GA for some of the best fishing in the Southeast. There are plenty of fish for almost any bait but we recommend that you consider fly fishing this area. Fly Fishing in North Georgia is an experience that you will remember for a lifetime.

If you prefer lake fishing then check out Carter’s Lake. Carter’s lake has campsites, RV hookups, boat rentals, and just about everything you need for a fun filled day of fishing.

Mountaintown Trout Club is a semi private venue located less than 90 minutes from downtown Atlanta. The club maintains two miles of private trout water as well as some of the best deer and turkey hunting North Georgia has to offer. more…..
Mountaintown Trout is designed to provide an exclusive experience for its members and guests. Our members can choose from a full day on our trophy managed trout water or even a combined day’s excursion with hunting and fishing offered by our “Cast and Blast” package. This hidden gem of a stream has everything from typical mountain laurel confined runs to beautiful meadows that look like something right out of Montana. Plunge pools to pocket water, bottomless holes and meandering bends all make for a fishing experience hard to duplicate anywhere. The really great asset to this stream is it’s accessibility from metro Atlanta.
Whether you’re driving up from Marietta or the airport, there isn’t an easier-to-access trophy stream available in the state. Mountain town caters primarily to its corporate members and theirs guests. We do not mass advertise to the public but rather do a select number of trips typically through member referrals. An event at Mountain town includes exclusive access to the property the entire day of your trip. We do not put multiple trips on the same day. “North Georgia’s Premier Trout and Turkey Destination” Located in Ellijay, Georgia.
