Cohutta Fishing Company

Booked a private wade trip through Drew. He set me up with guide Kyle who was awesome. I’m a very novice fly fisherman and Kyle’s expertise and know how had me catching some beautiful rainbows in no time. I highly recommend Cohutta Outfitters to any novice out there looking to learn the art of Fly fishing and wanting to experience the fight on light tackle. I look forward to possibly retuning in the fall and doing a boat trip. Thanks again Cohutta for the amazing experience.

We had a great wade experience on local private water. Our guide was knowledgeable, patient, and friendly, providing all the instruction we needed for a productive morning. We will definitely schedule another trip through this shop the next time we are in Blue Ridge.

I booked a private fly fishing trip for my husband and I for our wedding anniversary for a half day and our guide was Monroe Mayfield (what a cool name!). We shared that my husband is visually impaired and may need some guidance. Monroe was amazing! He helped guide my husband through all of his casts and catches, my husband had the best time and it was all because of Monroe! To see my husband catch fish and beam with joy makes me so happy! Thank you Monroe, you are the best guide we have ever had and we appreciate you and your love for fishing, you're a great teacher! We caught a ton of trout and loved the property were fishing from, it's a great place to learn or brush up on your fly fishing. We would book here again with Monroe any day!

The guys enjoyed this shop. They have just have gotten into fly fishing which is the reason for this trip. The ladies for the views and shopping. Cohorts gave them the guys tips and they made their purchases to snag some fish which they did!

Absolutely top-notch experience with Cohutta Fishing Company! If you're looking for an honest, knowledgeable, and truly local fly shop, this is the place. The team at Cohutta is incredibly friendly and down-to-earth—they know these North Georgia waters like the back of their hand. Whether you're a seasoned angler or just starting out, they take the time to share real advice that actually helps (not just sell you gear). Their passion for fishing and preserving our local rivers shines through in everything they do. From guided trips to top-tier equipment and fly recommendations, you can trust you're in good hands. It’s refreshing to find a shop that values integrity and community as much as they do. Can’t wait to book another trip with Cohutta they are a true gem in Blue Ridge!

Monroe and Matt did a wonderful job introducing my son, daughter-in-law, grandson and me to the world of fly fishing and drift fishing. We got a four hour tour because weather cut our planned six hour excursion short. We all caught fish and learned how to cast a fly rod. Thank you Monroe and Matt for a wonderful experience.

Great two days of fishing. Caught more than we could count. Monroe is the man!

We had the pleasure of fishing with Matt on a beautiful spring morning. He gave us some great instruction and was very patient throughout the day. Best of all, the fishing was top shelf! Couldn’t have asked for a better father-son trip. A big thank you to Matt and Cohutta outfitters for the hospitality!

I just wanted to give a quick shout out to Kyle! Great customer relations. Traveling all over the US, I absolutely love to explore the "local experience". 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.

Spent a good 30 minutes in the shop with very helpful and knowledgeable staff who assisted with fly selections for fishing the Toccoa River. Over the next three days I managed to catch a dozen or do rainbow and brown trout. Obviously, these guys know their area. I use to fly fish in my late teens and early twenties. I recently retired and decided to take this great hobby back up. Without their knowledge and assistance I would not have been this successful on my first time on a trout river. Thank you for your time and willingness to share your knowledge.

I purchased a half day fishing trip for my son and daughter-in-law. They went on the trip on Thursday, March 16 on an afternoon half trip. My son is an avid fisherman from Florida and he enjoyed the fishing and caught at least 20+ fish and his guide was great. My daughter-in-law caught one as well and enjoyed the trip I would highly recommend if you enjoy fishing to check out this guide service.

Had such a good time on private waters. Cole was the best guide. I was a beginner and he had so much patience. Many thanks!

We stopped in this store on a recent vacation to the Mountains. Blue Ridge is one of our favorite places to stop in and buy vacation goodies for the family. This store is one for the books. Knowledgeable staff and a wide range of equipment for enjoying fly fishing.

My Son treated me to a guided fly fishing trip for Fathers Day weekend. This was our first experience fly fishing and both of our guides met us at 7am. with friendly enthusiasm. We were escorted to the back of The Cohutta store to get fitted with waders and waterproof boots. Once dressed for the river, we followed our guides for a half day trip to Horseshoe Bend. Our guides for the trip were Melissa and Mike. Most of my experience fishing was spent with Melissa who was very professional and a fantastic, and most knowledgeable guide. Melissa took the time to explain how each component of fly fishing works. She was very patient, and following her instructions, I managed to catch three fish. A nice rainbow trout and two small bass. My son caught two nice trout. We began our trip at 7:30am and the river was almost all our own. By 10am. Much more traffic on the river was experienced, but never a hindrance to our fishing. I would highly recommend both of these guides for a trip. I know both Mike and Melissa divide there time guiding other locations and I am not sure of there availability, but if you are fortunate to be able too fish with them, I have no doubt, you will have a positive experience. They made my first fly fishing trip turn into my new desired hobby.
