This was the very time my wife has ever fished, never mind fly fishing and she caught all the fish (trout)! our guide MARK was patient and knowledgable taken us to serval location that day. He knew where to go and they provided all the gear for our half day trip. We felt at easy and not rushed to get though the day as he took us places and directed how to cast using a fly rod. He called the night before to ensure what time to meet and where. very profressional

We booked our groups’ fly fishing lesson with Reel Em In Guide Service after reading lots of reviews and several email exchanges with guides around north GA. James was so helpful and sent lots of valuable info, we felt really well informed even before our trip. We had 2 guides — Randy and Chris — for the 4 in our group, so we really got individual instruction on techniques. Both guides were super helpful and knowledgeable, we felt like we were getting inside tips from the experts. The private branch of the Cartecay River where we fished was so peaceful. It was a fantastic day, and we highly recommend Reel Em In.

This was a wonderful half day and Davie was the best guide I have ever fished with. He was helpful, knowledgeable, and really worked hard to make sure I was enjoying myself. My only disappointment was that the second half-day had to be canceled because of the weather. I really, really wanted to have a second day, but the rain and flash-flood warnings were just too much.
I will book this again anytime I am in the area. Davie was a great guy it it was fun hanging out in the beauty of the streams.

We booked a half day trip on April 23 and had a great time. Our guide, Tad, was very patient and gave great instructions to us greenhorn fly fishermen. I caught my first Rainbow on a dry fly! The public stream had plenty of fish and NO other anglers were encountered on our trip. We can't wait to get back to beautiful north Georgia again. Thanks Reel ‘Em In Guide Service!

Our family went up to spend 4th if July in Ellijay GA & my husband, whom is an avid back country fisherman, wanted to try fly fishing. James set him up with Robby whom ensured my husbands experience was a memorable one! Caught a few rainbows, enjoyed Georgia’s beauty & learned a thing or two about fly fishing. My husband’s dying to come back to do it again! Thanks so much for a wonderful experience & for being great at communicating with us!

Excellent. Mr. Bradley was able to take my grandkids out at the last minute and it was a wonderful experience for them. He went out of his was to make their experience unforgettable. Both boys will never forget the time that he spent with him. I would highly recommend this guide. What a great experience for these two young boys.
Thank you Mr. Bradley. I hope you realize what an great day that you gave them.

OMG! Jeremiah was super nice, he was very patient with me and taught me how to fly fish. He was extremely kind and very knowledgeable on fly fishing. He puts in maximum effort and was pleasantly talkative. We talked mainly about fishing and many other things. I was very lucky for him to be my first fly fishing teacher. He was great and big hearted. I will definitely ask for him again!

A great experience. The guides taught us a lot about fly fishing and helped make our day enjoyable. I have used "Reel Em In" three times and each experience has been unique and enjoyable. James was able to match us with guides who were fun as well as instructive and patient! Equipment was in great condition and the guides taught us how to rig as well as cast.
We have waded public water, private water and taken a float trip. James was able to hook us up with what we needed. Blue Ridge does provide varied and unique fishing experiences.

I bought a private guided fly fishing tour with Reel'em In Guide Service as a surprise 30th birthday present for my boyfriend who is an experienced fly fisherman/angler. James Bradley was our guide and he was amazing. Not only was he patient in showing me (the novice & totally inexperienced one) how to cast and reel, etc., but he also gave my boyfriend some awesome new pointers and advice. He took his time with us, taught us a lot not only about fly fishing, but about the area we were in, the rivers, the fish, and so on. Also, with James' help reeling the sucker in (ha!) i was able to land an 18" rainbow trout - which my boyfriend tells me is the catch of a lifetime. He was so amazed and happy. James was right there to help me get the fish out of the net for photos and was also taking plenty of pics for us along the way - which he promptly emailed to us right after so that we'd have them. Oh - and last, I should mention that as a part of this guide trip, my boyfriend caught the largest trout he's ever caught here in GA. He was so happy at the end of our trip and has been talking non-stop about it ever since. We will definitely book again with Reel'em In Guide Service. A+++++++++ all the way around!!

Had NEVER picked up a fly-rod before this trip... after some brief (but very informative) instruction regarding the basics of the sport on land, we were on the water fishing. James continued the lesson on the stream and we were on the fish almost immediately. Great afternoon of fishing! Would highly recommend for a novice or the experienced angler alike; Reel 'em In Guide Service knows their craft and how to share the experience.

I am so sorry that I have not responded sooner to your question. Jim answered it correctly. But we only publish rates for up to two people on the site. You are welcome to call us for a rate if you have not done so. I actually need some additional info from you before giving a rate. Thank you, James
Written October 11, 2016
It depends on the type of trip and the number of people going on the trip. My website shows the trip and pricing up to two people. If over two, you will have to call for the pricing.
Written November 23, 2015
I thought I have already answered this question. If not, sorry it is so late. We have didn't half day trips. Float is $275, Public Wade for 1 is $175, Private Wade for 1 is $230
Thanks,
James
