American Fly Fishermen, based in Ellijay, Georgia, offers guided fly fishing trips in some of North Georgia’s finest trout streams. Specializing in wade fishing, their services are designed for anglers of all skill levels, from beginners eager to learn the basics to seasoned anglers looking to refine their technique. With rivers and creeks such as the Cartecay River, Mountaintown Creek, and the Coosawattee River nearby, the area is known for its abundance of rainbow, brown, and brook trout, making it a prime destination for fly fishing. Trips are led by Captain Richard Murdock, a local guide with extensive knowledge of these waters and a commitment to creating enjoyable and rewarding experiences on the water.

Half-day and full-day guided trips are available, allowing anglers to choose the option that best fits their schedule and needs. Each trip includes access to gear rentals, ensuring those new to the sport can fully engage without needing to bring equipment.

While most trips focus on wade fishing, drift boats or rafts are also used for certain float fishing excursions, accommodating up to three people for a more dynamic approach to navigating local rivers.
