Hey Folks! This is Zach Norton. I am the Owner and Head Guide here at Blue Ridge Troutfitters. I was born and raised here in Blue Ridge, GA. I attended college at the University of North Georgia in Dahlonega, GA. After college, I served as a middle school science teacher and basketball coach for 7 years. I like to think that my time as an educator helped equip me with the patience, teaching, and entertainment skills required in order to be a nearly adequate trout fishing guide. So, it came to be that I traded in my cinderblock walled classroom for a new classroom where the only walls are the rhododendron and mountain laurel plants which line the banks of North Georgia's trout filled rivers and streams. In 2019, I started working for other local guide services and did so for several years. Then, in 2023, I started Blue Ridge Troutfitters.
Over the years, I've been blessed to share some great days on the water with some great clients. I take great pride in working hard for my clients to give them the best experience possible. A great experience means different things for different clients, different seasons, and even day to day conditions.
At the end of the day, it is fishing, not catching, and the fish get a vote too. That said, the non-negotiables for a good experience are knowledgeable and safe guides with good character, good attitudes, good preparation, good teaching skills, and good people skills. When you book a trip with Blue Ridge Troutfitters, we strive to provide just that. What I've found is that when we take care of those things, the catching and the good experience tend to take care of themselves.
So, if you're looking for a great, guided trout / fly fishing experience in Blue Ridge, GA, let Blue Ridge Troutfitters show you a great time! We appreciate your interest and feel free to reach out if you have any questions or need some help deciding what trip is best for you.
Tight Lines!
