I’ve had the pleasure to fish with Matt Morrison on several occasions. Matt is a skilled fisherman, and his knowledge of fly fishing is clear through his results. He’s a great instructor and educator. He’s a fun dude too. All around fishy guy.

I bought a home on the Toccoa last year and wasn't really in to fishing at that time. Went in to Cohutta Fishing company out of curiosity, saw they had a guide service and I booked a trip. Cole came to my house and gave me a fly fishing 101. Showed me different flies, knots, casting techniques, how to read the water, where to fish, and was honestly such a good dude to hang out with for 4 hours on the water and I had a blast.I did a private water wading trip on a creek with Matt Morrison a couple of months later and it was the same deal, he taught me some new stuff associated with creek fishing and got me on some awesome fish including a few really nice rainbows. He was super cool to hang out with and I had a great time.A few months after that, I did a float trip with Austin and it was the same deal. He was super knowledgeable, a ton of fun, and got me on a really nice brown trout that made my day. About 5 minutes later, I hooked up with my personal best brown trout and landed it after a 10 minute fight. We got to throw streamers at the beginning, dry dropper rigs, and then dry flies a little later. One of the most memorable days on the water I've ever had.Aside from guiding, I go in to the shop about once a month and Caleb helps me out with the flies that are working well, gives me tips on other water to check out, and answers any question that I might have. He's super knowledgeable and is super cool to chat with. He also found me a guide with pretty short notice who had a scheduled day off (Austin, from the trip above) which was freaking awesome. The shop also has a ton of gear and apparel that is always being refreshed. I see a different hat design every time I go in that I have to have, so I normally end up leaving with $100 in flies and a hat or two lol.If you've read to this point, I think it goes without saying, you can't go wrong with this shop or their guides. Whoever does the hiring places a ton of emphasis on character and culture fit and it shows. The staff treats everyone so damn well regardless of their knowledge or skill level and I can't recommend them enough.

Father/Son Fishing trip of a life time…… fished from Alaska to Florida - Monroe Mayfield is an amazing guide! His knowledge of local waters and ability to match clients skills to conditions are the best ever! He knows where to fish and give you every opportunity to hookup and land fish!! Not only did we get a trip we will never forget….we made a life long fishing friend!!! Thanks Monroe!!!

There have been fly shops come and go in North GA. But Cohutta Fishing Co has made a name for itself as a highly professional shop and guide service over the years. I’ve been in shops all over the country and fished with many guides, Cohutta sets the standard for the southeast. Drew and his team have every base covered from knowledge and gear, but also have a unique brand that supports making memories for beginners and experts alike.

Not even a fisherman but found multiple clothes to buy for myself and for gifts. The salesman (? owner) could have not been more helpful. A must stop when I come to town.

Fantastic day of fishing! Was my first time fly fishing and I am 'hooked'. Took a 3/4 day guided trip on the Toccoa. Our guide, Cole, was phenomenal and a great teacher. I can't wait to get back on the water with Cohutta Fishing Company. Obviously highly recommend.

can't thank Cohutta enough for the expirence my daughter and I had. Drew, thank you for recommending Cole. Not only was he an exceptional instructor and guide, it was like fishing with a friend. Cole taught my daughter who has never fly fished the basics and led her to numerous hook-ups and her first trout. He also fixed my bad habits and put me on the largest brown trout and the largest rainbow I've ever caught! the only problem is Cole created a monster, my daughter was looking up waders and boots all the home to Florida lol. Anyone reading this considering a shop and guide look no further then Cohutta Fishing Company and their guides. Thanks again for making my Father's Day so special.

Absolutely top notch and well worth the money. I have never enjoyed fishing like I have fly fishing. I did the full day guided float and a half day guided wade fishing and I had an absolute blast. My guides Cole and Monroe were very knowledgeable and patient while teaching me and the other first time fly fisherman. I would highly recommend everyone give fly fishing a try but do it right and let the professionals teach you. Thank you Cole, Monroe, and Cohutta Fishing Company for the fishing trip I will remember forever.

I booked a 3/4 day float trip for my dad and bro-in-law. Matt was their guide for the trip. They had an amazing time and raved about the experience for days. They both loved hanging out with Matt and felt that they had not only learned new and helpful fishing techniques, but also learned new things about our natural environment. Thank you, Matt, for such a memorable trip and thank you, Cohutta, for what you do! The guys remarked that it felt like they had been in nature therapy all day and were renewed when they returned to the cabin. :)

We used Cohutta Fly Shop for 2 guided trips in Blue Ridge this week. Our guide Austin was great, from. His knowledge of the water , gear, and general conversation was awesome. Although we’re experienced at fly fishing he still was able show us some new things , and talk about the habits of the trout where we were . I can’t say enough good things about Austin and the fly shop overall!

What a great experience! I highly recommend Cohutta for guided fly fishing. Our guide Austin was awesome! I took two children that have never fly fished before and he was a great teacher. We will definitely be back !

I cannot say enough about how much fun my wife and I had. Cole is not only an amazing guide, he is an amazing person. I actually feel like I’ve made a new friend. This will be remembered as one of the best vacations I have ever taken and a HUGE part of that is because of Cole. You have an outstanding guide. We will definitely be back.
