The Chattooga River

This is near the town of Highlands. It’s a remote stretch of river and is truly one of the most scenic rivers in North Carolina and North Georgia.
This river provides an angler with the opportunity to catch very large wild browns.
We try to keep the fishing pressure during the summer to a minimum so we typically only guide here during the winter. This stream is only for experienced anglers. This is the closest river to Clayton, Georgia.
