LOCAL GUIDES

All of our guides grew up in Blue Ridge. They’re not transplants looking to make a quick buck pretending they know these fisheries. They’re locals who’ve had knowledge passed down from their fathers, grandfathers and great-grandfathers. These waters shaped them into who they are today. From the time they were old enough to hold a rod they’ve been fishing – long before Fannin County was considered the “Trout Capital of Georgia.” While they started at a very young age, years of perfecting their craft on our local waters led to a maturation in their skills and method of angling. The result is this area’s finest guides who understand our area better than anyone. The result is Appalachian Anglers – Blue Ridge’s only locally owned and operated guide service.
