PRIVATE WATER

Nacoochee Bend

Unicoi Outfitters Home Waters. Located a literal stones throw from the shop, just south of Helen, Nacoochee Bend offers 1.5 Miles of private trout water.  The Bend is managed for trophy fish, mostly consisting of large rainbow trout, with the occasional brown or brook trout.

This is the location for our Gilligan Special and Intro to Fly-Fishing Class.

Nacoochee Bend tends to be out most popular piece of water, and is our only private water that offers unguided fishing for  trophy trout.

Nacoochee Bend offers many advantages for both new and experienced fly-fishermen. The larger river provides more room for beginners still working on developing their casting skills, while the option for unguided trips means experienced anglers may set out on their own without a guide.
