As the Toccoa River leaves Blue Ridge Lake, it becomes a large, tailwater river offering everything you can imagine for great trout fishing. The Toccoa River is a great place to wade or fish from a single man float tube or pontoon craft for fly fishing trout. Feeder creeks on the lower Toccoa include Fightingtown, Hemptown and Hothouse Creeks.

    Not only does the Toccoa River receive its own stockings, but the tributaries named above are heavily stocked as well. Trout wandering downstream into the Toccoa make good use of its abundant food supply, and quality wild browns and rainbows that have migrated out of the tributary streams are a possibility. With all the fish the Toccoa River receives, either directly or indirectly, it is not surprising that the fly fishing is as good as it is.

    If trout fishing is not for you, the Toccoa River is perfect for those people who just want to relax and enjoy the natural beauty of the river. On the Toccoa River inner tubes, kayaks and canoes provide a cool and refreshing way to have fun and relax on a hot summer day.
