Chattooga River Fly Shop

Great shop. Thank you for helping us hook up on some browns this weekend!

I had the pleasure of meeting Karl and Guss (the dog) yesterday afternoon. I haven't fly fished in over 15 years and looking to get back into it. Karl was extremely knowledgeable and his fly shop is incredibly clean and well organized. A lot more merchandise than I anticipated. Karl told me where to go and what to use. I ended up catching 3 nice fish and will definitely be back to visit when I am in the area!

My mother bought me some flies from this shop for Christmas. They treated her so well that I went there and bought some felt boots. These boots changed my life. I can traverse upstream over any rocks to cast into any hole or eddy. I cover more water and catch more fish. The team at The Chattooga River Fly Shop are actually there to help you. Something we don't see in the corporate world anymore. Thanks guys.

Very knowledgeable and friendly. Willing to answer or show you tips and tricks. They carry a very wide variety and range of fly fishing and fly tying gear.

Stopped in today (first time) as we are getting settled in the area. Great shop, friendly and knowledgeable. Enjoyed my visit. Thanks for the info Karen and Byron! I'll be back!

Stopped in to get some advice on flys and gear and had the best experience. They were extremely knowledgeable and super friendly. They helped me build a great starter kit for my fly fishing setup. I can't recommend this place enough.

Went on a guided trip with a large group of Veterans. The guides were extremely patient, informative, and overall extremely helpful. I would recommend anyone to go on a trip with them. Thank you, folks, for a great time!

Great shop and great people. Very friendly and super knowledgeable. Very impressed with the level of patience the staff has with newcomers to the world of fly fishing.

Been meaning to stop by the shop numerous times on my trips to fish and hike in the area. This weekend I had the chance. An outstanding little fly shop for the serious and even not so serious fly fishing angler and fly tier. Owners are super friendly and helpful. They set me up with a new fish net (forgot my own two hours back home - ugh), some great fly tying material (ring neck pheasant skin and Polish CDC), and recommended new attachment method for my net. If you're in the area or even not - make the trip over. Also, check out their on-line store. Tight lines.

Not enough room to list out all of the great aspects of this business. Everyone here is super friendly and helpful. Had Brad as a guide who was fantastic and definitely made sure we got some fish. A++++++++++

Thank you to my guide Dan for a spectacular day on the river. As a woman, I was a little apprehensive about going out for my first time. He put me at ease and taught me so much from reading water, follow my thumb, and even showed me three different knots. He matched the hatch so good that it fooled a Rainbow! My first! I had three bites but have to learn how to set strikes. The old store was nice but love the bigger store now. Thank you Carl and Karen for supplying a great guide. I will be back again soon and would highly recommend to my friends.

Love this shop!!! The staff is always unbelievably helpful and super knowledgeable. I'll sometimes even drive the hour to get there just to buy flies from them instead of purchasing online or from a lesser retailer. They also post water conditions everyday on Instagram which is very helpful in planning a fishing trip. My absolute go to for anything trout and fly fishing related. I could literally spend hours just looking around and talking with the amazing folks that run this shop!

I came in with a rod I was quickly helped with matching a reel to it the owners are really nice and helpful. Not only do they offer a good selection of fly fishing gear they also make wonderful/beautiful quilts and blankets my son (2) who was running around crazily was given a snow mobile toy by the owner. This is a small family run bussiness and well worth a 3 hour drive to check it out, gain some knowledge, maybe take a guided trip with the owner. A++++

This is what you look for in a fly shop. Friendly and knowledgeable staff to answer all your questions. Excellent selection of flies, rods, reels and fly tying equipment. Wonderful customer service and a place you will keep coming back too for all you fly fishing needs. Can't recommend this place high enough!

Stopped in 07-02-16 had a great time in the shop talking about fishing and other topics. This a well stocked shop and very knowledgeable owners. Love supporting small businesses. Very nice people to do business with.

Great fly shop. Not huge but had a good selection of what you need and not a lot of useless junk. Even had a pretty good selection of tying material. Karen was very helpful and very kind. Will definitely be going out of my way to shop there!

Stopped by the Chattooga River Fly Shop on my way to the river this past weekend. Karl was absolutely on the money with his fly selection and where the fish would be holding. Very helpful and more than willing to give information/advice. Stop in, the only reason you wouldn't catch fish after talking to Karl would be your own skills!

Great must stop for the fly fisherman. Great merchandise friendly knowledgeable staff. Bought some great flies and shirt. Owner gave us great advise and directions on the local spots.

Had a great visit with Karl and Karen talking fly fishing and fly tying. First time in the shop. They've got a great selection. Got too much stuff to see in one visit. I'll be back again.

Best fly shop on the Chattooga! Friendly service and helpful tips on where to go and what to use. great fly selections. They update the water levels and temps daily. Visiting the Fly Shop is half the fun of going up to the Chattooga.
