Come spend a day with us acquiring some basic skills, then consider booking a trip with one of our professional guides to fish Nacoochee Bend and learn the finer details of the sport.

Anglers with intermediate skills should definitely consider spending a day fishing with one of our guides.You can learn in one day what might take months or even years to learn on your own. We can also arrange special classes for as few as three people. Call us to set a date for a unique small group or family outing. Click here to see a class schedule.
