In addition to the numerous trophy fisheries we represent, Unicoi Outfitters is permitted to guide on streams in the Chattahoochee National Forest, Nantahala National Forest, and Sumter National Forest, and is the only Georgia outfitter permitted to guide on the Chattooga River in Georgia and South Carolina - named to Trout Unlimited's top-100 stream list. We also offer float trips on the Toccoa River in Georgia, and the Tuckaseegee River in North Carolina.
