River Through Atlanta offers private fly fishing lessons and waterfowl hunting trips along the Chattahoochee and Tennessee Rivers. Learn from expert guides amid one of Georgia’s most prized outdoor environments.
Located in Roswell, Georgia, River Through Atlanta offers a rare gateway to the Chattahoochee River’s dynamic waters, combining expert instruction with immersive angling and hunting experiences. The Chattahoochee is one of the Southeast’s defining rivers, revered both for its role as a historic waterway and for its unique fishery that supports populations of rainbow trout—the southernmost perennial trout stream east of the Rockies. The river’s constantly shifting currents, riffles, and deeper pools create an engaging, technical playground for anglers new to fly fishing or seasoned veterans seeking tailored challenges.
River Through Atlanta’s suite of offerings includes private, drift boat fly fishing trips that teach everything from mending techniques to strike detection, alongside private wade fishing excursions aimed at connecting clients directly with the river’s pulse. Their specialty trout trips highlight targeted tactics for luring trophy rainbows, while the largemouth bass, carp, shoal, and stripped bass excursions venture into Georgia’s diverse freshwater systems beyond the main channel.
Beyond fishing, River Through Atlanta extends its expertise into the realm of waterfowl hunting with private hunts on prime sites across Georgia and the Tennessee River. These organized hunts cater to both novices and experienced hunters, harnessing knowledge of local waterfowl habits and habitats for a rewarding and efficient experience.
Every trip is led by guides who combine in-depth local knowledge with patient, adaptive teaching methods. Reviews praise the team’s ability to bridge technical skill-building with the joy of constant action—keeping rods in the water and success rates high. Their commitment to close customer engagement and river stewardship makes River Through Atlanta a standout choice for anyone looking to step confidently into fly fishing or waterfowl hunting within one of Georgia’s premier outdoor playgrounds.
