For the Experience

We know our Blue Ridge mountain rivers, streams, and lakes. We know our gear and we know fish. We don’t come by this knowledge from fancy tech or second-hand book learning. We got it the old-fashioned way—from lots and lots of fishing. Come experience the difference experience can make.

For the Future

Cohutta Fishing Company has an exclusively catch-and-release policy, and we strive to leave our waterways cleaner than we found them. We hope you’ll join us in caring for the next generation of anglers and the fisheries they will inherit from us.

For the Love

Here at Cohutta Fishing Company, if we’re not fishing for work, we’re fishing for fun. And even when we’re fishing for work, we’re fishing for fun. We love to share that passion and joy with everyone who meets us, whether on the water or in our store.

Went here so my wife could learn to fly fish. Scrap that, Carolyn took me and her, and perfectly handled my no experienced wife, while handleing me, lol. Took the class the next ady with Matt. I learned much, while at the same time, he showed my wife everything she needed to know. Left there , not only with a better knowledge of fly-fishing, a bunch of trophy trout caught, but with freinds! Awesome experience!!!!

Wow! I cannot say enough about this store, the owner, the fishing guides and the fly fishing instructor. We visited the store and my husband booked a guided fly fishing trip with Carolyn and she was absolutely amazing! I feel like I have made a new friend for life! The second day he signed us up for a class with Matt and he also was amazing. I learned so much from our class with him. He was very knowledgeable and loves doing what he does and sharing info with those of us who know nothing about the sport. Thank you all for making is feel so welcome. You won’t be able to get rid of us now!

Super easy to make reservations and had a great day with Kyle in Blue Ridge. Caught a bunch of big rainbows in just a few hours, including one and 21 inches😎

This was my first guided fishing experience ever, and it exceeded every expectation. Kyle was incredibly pleasant, patient, and genuinely focused on making the trip about me and what I wanted to get out of it. He took the time to coach me on my technique, and his instruction was top notch. I never felt rushed or overlooked, he made sure we were fishing in a way that helped me improve while still getting me into fish. If you’re thinking about booking a trip, I highly recommend Kyle. It was an awesome experience from start to finish.

Carolyn was fantastic during our wade trip. She was very knowledgeable, patient, and clearly passionate about both the fishery and making sure everyone I had a great experience. I will absolutely book again and highly recommend to anyone from beginners to experienced anglers.

Outfreakingstanding!! Booked a trip for 04/28/26 and was rained out. They put me down for 04/30/26 and all I can say is PB’s were met today. A 24” Brown and a 25.5” Rainbow had me giddy. Matt was the guide and it was like fishing with an old friend. We had a blast. I highly recommend their all day private trout fishing wading trip…money well spent. If there were 6 stars I’d have hit that, but 5 is as high as they allow!! Awesome folks and fishing!!

Austin is an exceptional guide with an incredible depth of knowledge. I had him booked for a half day wadding trout fishing trip. He took me to a place outside of Ellijay with private access. His knowledge of how to manage fly selection yielded positive results on the 3rd hole we fished. My reel never screamed like this as the trophy trout fought. My goal for the day was met at that point. We continued to fish our area of access with me missing a couple hits. But on the 2nd pass at the same hole that produced our earlier catch, I hooked into another really nice fish. Thank you Cohutta and Austin for putting me in the right place with the right stuff to fulfill a lifelong goal. These guys are great

This is a great local shop. We are from Jacksonville Florida and wanted a fly fishing trip. Matt and Austin were fabulous guides. If you are looking for a relaxing day fly fishing look no further that this business.
