On March 26, 20110, the Georgia House of Representatives declared Fannin County as the Trout Capital of Georgia with 13 bodies of water designated by the Georgia Department of Natural Resourses as trout waters. With over 550 miles of water in the county, these bodies of water serve as home to rainbow, brown and our native Eastern Brook trout.
“Fannin County is widely recognized as a premier trout fishing destination by anglers from all over the country,” said House Speaker David Ralston. “It is only fitting to recognize Fannin County as the Trout Capital of Georgia.”
Fannin County is also home to the federal trout hatchery in the Chattahoochee National Forest near Dial. The hatchery not only provides fish for the stocking program, but is a featured tourist attraction and education center for the area.
The house resolution also highlights the Toccoa River Tailwater, which runs below the Blue Ridge Dam, as a magnificent all-season fishing resource that " provides a diverse alternative from other fisheries in Georgia."
We have 2 wonderful fishing cabins available on the tailwater in the Mineral Bluff area. Toccoa Fish Trap and Fish Tales provide great accomodations, private access into the river and excellent fishing spots where our guests can catch trout.
We can also assist you with making reservations for a guided trip on public or private waters. Give us a call today so that we can book your reservation.
