Our family booked two days with Daniel and Colter. Day 1 was just my son and husband with Colter, wading. Day 2 was drifting with both guides. Both guides were extremely patient, knowledgeable and kind. Both days were successful and we had a great time! Highly recommend!!
Daniel needs to practice having integrity with his clients. The DNR of Georgia monitors trout stockings on private waters which include the Nottley River and that river is regularly stocked with rainbow trout. Daniel tries to claim there are giant wild rainbows there and this is simply false as they are stocked. Act with integrity.
Great experience fishing with Bowman Fly Fishing. I did a wade trip with my daughter at Soque river with Colter as the guide. Colter was amazing, and took great care of guiding us and especially my daughter. We caught a ton of fish, including some really big ones, with the prize going to my daughter ;-).

Thank You Less
Incredible outfitter and just plain great people!
We went fly fishing with Colter this past weekend and had a blast. He knows his stuff, has a great attitude, and makes fly fishing a fun experience. Plus I learned a thing or two while catching a bunch of fish. He may also be the fastest double-nymph rigger we've ever seen 😂 Highly recommend Bowman Fly Fishing.
I went fly fishing on the Soque river with Daniel and it was an absolute blast! Daniel knows his stuff for sure! I caught my personal best rainbow (24") and brown (22") on this trip! I was amazed at how knowledgeable Daniel was when it came to the habits and patterns of the fish.

My wife and I had Colter as a guide for a half-day wade trip and he was great. He was patient and fun to be around. He taught us both a lot about fly fishing and was very accommodating with our different fly fishing skill levels. The other two people I talked to on the phone were extremely nice and helpful. I highly recommend this place for their knowledge and customer service.
Guide Kyle Cone did a great job with everything from teaching us long ago forgotten fly fishing skills to catching PB Trout on two rivers in GA. Super personality and wonderful guide to fish with. Can’t wait to do it again.
Daniel put me on a 20" and 22" today with plenty of warm ups on the way down. Great guide, incredibly knowledgeable, patient and just an all around nice guy. Can't wait to bring the wife back with me next time.
Daniel is simply the best fishing guide in all of North Georgia. I've used him for three trips and wouldn't want anyone else. Vast experience and untouchable local knowledge! Thanks!
My son in law and I went on a great float trip to the Tuck on my 73rd birthday. I wanted to fish a river that I had never fished and it was simply a great day. We caught brook, brown and rainbow trout. Even hooked a small mouth bass. Highly recommend Bowman Fly Fishing and Jason Tannehill.
Great experience, all around! Whether experienced or a newbie or somewhere in between, you can’t go wrong!
Daniel and crew will make sure you have a great day on the water! Great guides and great service!
For the past two years, I have given my son in law and grandson gift certificates from Bowman Fly Fishing. Each year they proudly show their catches and talk about how great their experiences were.

My son and I had a great day on the river with Kyle. This is a wonderful mother- son thing to do. We had such an amazing experience, we brought my other son two weeks later to do it again! Kyle made it so enjoyable even though we were novices. We will definitely fish with Bowman in the future. Highly recommend.
Had an amazing first fly fishing experience. My guide was super knowledgeable! Highly recommended
I've been fishing with Daniel for over six years. I'm a better flyfisherman as a result, and I look forward to fishing with him going forward!
Fishing was great and the guide was very knowledgeable. He helped a non fly fishing fisherman learn in five minutes the skills needed to fly fish. I would recommend Bowman to anyone wanting to give fly fishing a go.
The Bowman experience of fly fishing is off the hook. Technique, water current, placement in the stream for the biggest baddest fish are all taught regardless of what level you are. We have traveled all over the world and have found Bowman to be one of the best of the best.
Jason was a fantastic guide. We had an incredible day.
Excellent day of fishing on the Etowa river with my daughter. Our guide Hanna was on top of it all day.
Great day with my son-in-laws, Kyle and Daniel at Bowman Fly Fishing were outstanding guides.
Will was an awesome guide for my brother and I. We did a full day float trip followed by a full day wade. He worked hard to get us on the fish, and we hooked some monsters, even though I wasn't patient enough to keep them on the hook. We had a blast and will definitely be booking with them again.
I and my daughter have fished with Daniel several times a year for about 4 years. He is as a respected guide once put it "fishy"! If there are fish to be found, he will find them. Both float and wade trips have always been a great experience and huge amounts of fun. It doesn't hurt also knowing Daniel is such a great guy as well, great to be on the river for a day!

Great day on the river, great guide, great person and coaching on fundamentals of fly fishing; definitely doing it with Bowman next time I am in GA, USA.
Great experience. Me and my two kids caught some huge fish. Guides worked hard and put us on the fish!,
Jason was beyond patient and showed us a terrific day of fishing. The owners of Fern Valley are the most wonderful people to share their Shangri-la with the Bowman group. This was my 70th Bday with my son, son-in-law and his father. I may not have looked like Brad Pitt while occasionally catching a tree limb, but I was playing the part anyway!

An all around excellent float on the Toccoa! Our guide was professional, courteous and knew where the fish were. Thanks for a very nice experience.
We had a great adventure fishing with Trey. Trey was very knowledgeable and fun to fish with. We caught lots of beautiful fish.
I had a great time with Daniel. He is very professional and awesome guild. I highly recommend him for your next guild trip.
Good communication upfront, helpful, pleasant. Had different sizes of gear to try and knew where the fish were running!
Great trip..Will did an awesome job! See you soon!
This is a superb outfitter. A last minute booking resulted in a trip of a lifetime. Heading back in two weeks for another three days with Bowman. Great customer service, pristine locations and very knowledgeable guides. All around 6 STARS.....
I couldn't have been more pleased with our trip, I live in North GA and had friends in town from TX and wanted to show them a great time on the Soque and Bowman Fly Fishing absolutely delivered. Excellent communication, easy booking and a fantastic day on the river. Daniel consistently put us on huge fish and made two novices feel like pros. Will certainly be back.

Top shelf, expert guiding, always put you on fish. A good as it gets!!! Daniel is a class act.

He is long on patience and coaching and always seems genuinely excited to be outside with people, teaching technique and sharing his passion for fishing and the outdoors.

I thoroughly enjoyed my day spent with Daniel Bowman as he guided us to explore some excellent trout waters in the North Georgia Mountains. Thanks to his expertise and patience, I learned alot, the fishing was fun and productive, and all in good company. -Jeff R.

We have been out several times with Daniel and he always makes for a fun and informative day of fishing. He really knows the local streams and isn't afraid to go off the beaten path in search for fish. I plan on booking many more trips with Daniel.
Had an amazing time with Daniel and another guide on your trip to GA! They were so patient and have us so many tips. Would highly recommend Daniel and we will book another trip soon!
We have had many great trips with Bowman Fly Fishing over the past four years.

Great experience with Bowman Fly fishing. First time for me caught lots of trout and our guide was great.
We have fished with Daniel and Jason. Both were so knowledgeable and easy going. What a great time!!

My boys and I had a amazing March day with Jason and Bowman Fly Fishing! We couldn't have asked for a better guide or day! Totally slayed it with a rainbows, palominos, and browns. Will become a yearly trip with my boys!
The guide we went with was great. Caught plenty of fish. But getting setup initially and getting in touch with someone to reschedule dates was not exactly seamless.
Very nice fishing trip! Guide was very helpful to young first timer.
My friends and I had an amazing experience with Bowman fly fishing! Daniel was an excellent guide. We were all new to fly fishing and so he was very patient and knowledgeable. We would definitely use him again in the future
We were put on some large trout right away. The equipment and guide service was fantastic!
Daniel is a great guide. He is very patient with beginners and does very well with experienced fly fisherman. He has always put us on fish! I will continue to go back to Daniel when I go fly fishing. He is such a good person and easy to talk to.
My wife and I really enjoy our time on the rivers fishing with Daniel. He is a great guide and teacher who always put us on the trout.
had the best time fishing the local trout streams, cant wait to do it again. the guides are great and teach along the way, very interactive..

We have fished several days with Daniel and his guides. Each day has been a lot of fun. While the guides we have fished with have all been excellent Jason has worked hard for us to find fish. We will be customers for years.
Having never fly fished before, this was still a great day of fishing. Daniel supplied everything you need and puts you on fish. Can hardly wait to go again with him.
Guide took such great care of me. Gear was excellent and the location yielded some of the biggest trout I've ever seen. It has been over 20 years since I had used a fly rod and my guide patiently worked with me. Check out the biggest trout I've ever caught!
Look no further. Bowman Fly Fishing will exceed your expectations wether you’re a beginner or expert. I cannot speak highly enough about Jason’s fly casting instructions. Both Daniel and Jason know where to find trophy fish.
Guys are really good. Great guide service. Been with them now on three fly trips. 1st to the Nanatoola, an experience I will never forget. And then with the family twice on the Soque. Great with my younger boys and wife, putting them on the fish. Kyle as a guide is great, knowledgeable and just and all in all good guy.
Top notch equipment and person. Had a blast and will plan to go again.
My son and I enjoyed a day of fishing on the Soque River. Kyle of Bowman Fly Fishing was very knowledgeable and provided insight into reading the water that allowed us to hook several 20+ inch rainbows. I'd recommend Kyle and Bowman to anyone regardless of your experience level. We look forward to our next outing with Bowman Fly Fishing.
We had a great time fishing! Highly recommend Bowman fly fishing.
We had a great experience and can’t wait to go back!!
Daniel, Jason, Kyle, and all of the guides with Bowman are first class. Daniel and Jason are family to us!! They don't just take a man fishing, they teach a man how to fish. No other place I'd rather be than on the water with one of these guys!!
The fishing trip was great, Bowman group was professional and we had a great time. I would recommend Bowman Fly Fishing to anyone who loves fly fishing. Glen Ridley
We have used Daniel on two occasions and he has been amazing! Our last fishing adventure was with our 11 year old nephew. Daniel taught Brant a lot about fishing the streams of North Georgia and etiquette of taking care of them. He was extremely patient and engaged with him the entire day while we floated and fished!
Excellent trip. Met all my expectations.
My two sons and I fished for 3 days, in April, with Daniel, Jason and Kyle Cone. We fished a different river and creek each day and had a great time.

Bowman Fly fishing provides a fantastic experience for all skill levels. We have used them on multiple occasions and with a variety of anglers and they always deliver lots of trophy fish. I highly recommend!
Daniel and Jason are great guides and better yet - great people!! You will enjoy your time with them and they will put you on the fish!!

Awesome experience, I had flight time constraints and they took it upon themselves to fit me into their schedule and start earlier than anticipated to fulfill my needs. Great time on the water and I truly would return in the future. Thanks again.
We fished the Tuck with Kyle in May. Kyle worked hard for us all day and we caught some really nice fish. A great day on the water.
My friends and I took a girls trip to Blue Ridge 🏔 and decided to add a fly fishing trip to the itinerary. We couldn’t of have had a better time. Our guides, Trey and Kyle were very professional and patient as we had “first timers” on the trip. Although the fish weren’t excessively biting we still had a great time with lots of fun had and memories made!!!
We had so much fun Fly Fishing! We had great guides (Kyle and Trey) who made our experience fantastic! Can't wait to do it again
Had two great trips organized by Bowman in May 2021: One a float on the river and another on private waters. Both guides were outstanding and made each day so enjoyable for me and my wife. And the company made it easy to match the kind of fishing we wanted to do with the guide who knew the water. Highly recommend Bowman Fly Fishing and their guides.
Bowman Fishing went above and beyond my expectations when I had over a dozen guests on the Soquee River fly fishing in May. Many of my guests had never been fly fishing but Bowman Fishing took great care of us from the moment we arrived until we left that afternoon. The huge trout we caught were incredible. The fun we had and memories of that day will last for years to come. Thank you Daniel... More

The fishing experience with Bowman Fly Fishing was great and Matt was on of the best guides I have every fished with. We were landing BIG Rainbows within 10 minutes of stepping into the beautify trout stream and caught many nice trout that day. I highly recommend Matt to anyone looking for big fish and a fun day.
Great trip with good company, It was like fishing with a friend. Caught plenty of fish and many were some of the largest I've caught. Definitely will be back.
Bowman always delivers. We take an annual early trip for a float and private water. Daniel and Kyle are both amazing guides and always bring the fish and good times. This is a guaranteed great weekend for memories and tight lines.
I had the pleasure of fishing with Quetin on the Toccoa River in May of this year. Clearly one of the top 2-3 guides this old guy has fished with over the years. Loads of nice fish ...browns and rainbows taking both dry fly and nymphs. I'll be back.
Used Bowman’s twice now and both trips were great — one with Daniel himself and another with a guide. Professional and knowledgeable, would highly recommend using Bowman for a day on the water.
We have fished with Daniel and his Team of fantastic guides on six different occasions. The first was by accident because the guide I had hoped to book was not available.

The next five times, and as many more as we can manage in the future, will be my good fortune. I fish out West, in Michigan and in Maine so when invited to fish in Georgia I had somewhat low expectations. Was I ever wrong! Daniel and his Team took us to a variety of private and public water and every day put us on beautiful trout, some of the most active and largest I have ever seen. The Bowman guides’ knowledge of the river (Georgia has gorgeous rivers!) is clearly based on long and deep experience. They know where the fish are and how to “fish” them.” I took a total beginner with me one trip, and the second day he caught the biggest rainbow I have ever seen. Daniel and his Team are knowledgeable, courteous, patient teachers, and a great deal of fun, too! If you book with Bowman, you will not be disappointed. Less
I’ve been fortunate to fish with Daniel Bowman several times over the last year. His intimate knowledge of the region’s rivers shows in not only the fishing but also in the sharing of the region’s rich history. Daniel has a true connection with the North Georgia mountains and you’ll feel that connection every time you spend the day on the water with him.
Daniel has some awesome fishing properties and does a first Class job making sure you have the best chance to catch some great fish. I would recommend his guides to anyone. Kyle was our guide and did a great job.
Thank you Kyle and Jason for the best time ever! It was our first time fly fishing. They demonstrated and explained everything and we were able to fish and enjoyed every minute. I highly recommend Bowman Fly Fishing. They were professional and very knowledgeable. We will definitely be back!! Thank you again for helping us make Father's Day extra special!

Setting up a trip was easy, our guide was prompt, knowledgeable and took a great amount of time coaching up my wife. We had a great day caught some nice trout and will be back!!!
Bowman Fly fishing with Daniel Bowman is one of the best experiences you can have on the water. Very accommodating and also a great learning experience. Plus, Daniel and his guides are very fun. If you catch fish of course always a good time but either way they make the trip worthwhile.
I’ve had the good fortune to use Bowman Fly Fishing a couple of times, and plan to hire him again many times in the future. Daniel is an “old soul” in a young man’s body, wise beyond his years. He’s got the finest crew of guides in north Georgia and has access to the best fishing spots around. Daniel is incredibly knowledgeable, professional and personable. You won’t find any better - anywhere!
Great job. Fished with several guides. All were excellent
Great trip with a great guide. Thanks for the experience and hospitality
We had a wonderful time with our Bowman guides. They were helpful and encouraging and educational. Although it was chilly to start the weather seemed to warm up the more fish we caught. We will be back to go fishing again with the guys.
Was a great time caught alot of trout and I caught my largest Brown trout on a fly rod. Would highly recommend them.
I'm just getting into fly fishing. The guide I had was VERY experienced and had me on large trout one right after the other. It was the best fishing trip I was ever on. Thanks Bowman.
Great day on the Tuck! Great guide and nice pace on full day trip. Got rainbow, brown, and brook in the boat
My experience with the team at Bowman was more than fantastic. I was a late booking and their team did everything they could to get me on the water. It was a fantastic day and I can’t wait to book again. Tight lines!!
What can I say other than amazing. We battled 38’degree weather and constant rain to have an epic day of fishing. Daniel was not only a great guide but a great teacher. He put me on fish all day. I will definitely book again
Great fishing trip down the Toccoa. The guide was very knowledgeable and we caught several rainbows. It was a great time
I hate to say this is a typical rainbow from Noontootla Creek because these fish are scores better than typical. Great water, great guide, great day with Daniel at Daniel Bowman Fly Fishing!
My buddy and I fished with Bowman Fly Fishing in March at Noontootla Creek Farms in Blue Ridge Georgia and had a great time. Our guide was very attentive and focused on catching a few of the big boys that Noontootla Creek is known for which we did. Would definitely recommend Bowman Fly Fishing!
Great outdoor experience with my son. Loved the enthusiasm that Daniel brought to the river. Highly recommended.
Great trip, Daniel is a professional and really cares about your experience. Trey was great on the Farm! Crazy and Huge Trout! Got a grand slam on Float with Daniel and caught 20+ on Saturday. Carrie is so prompt and that was what made me look at them in February.
Awesome guide service with great experience. Bowman can help with people of all levels of experience and help you to get on the fish. Great trip that recommend.
Daniel is an excellent trout guide! Knows the water and is a pleasure to be with. Planning on another trip this fall! Rainy day and rising water but Daniel made it work!
Kyle was personable, knowledgeable and professional!
Terrific FlyFishing Trip!! My guide Kyle Cole was outstanding, personable, prompt, full Of local water knowledge and we caught many fish. Will definitely book again on my next trip to North GA
The guys at Bowman Fishing were incredible. The guides were friendly, helpful and enthusiastic, and good communicators. My 13 year old nephew had never been fly fishing before, and landed a nice sized beautiful rainbow. We couldn't have had a better time.
Best experience you can have. Their team of guides are professional and most of all very patient with the clients. They will teach you techniques that will make your trip well worth the price. Get on the river!
great experience fly fishing with my son!
Jason at Bowman was awesome! I had such a great experience as a first timer! I can't wait to book my next trip! 5 Stars!
Celebrating our 15th anniversary with the best! Thank you for an amazing day on the Toccoa!
Great time and plenty of fish. Daniel does a great job teaching novice's like us to fly fish with success.
The owner, Daniel, is a great guy and has a ton of experience in guiding!
Incredible guide, I highly recommend booking with him!
Our outing greatly surpassed any expectations. Kyle did a fantastic job with my 10 year old son, and we created memories that will truly last a lifetime! So successful, I am hesitant to ever take him fishing again...the bar is raised pretty high now!! LOL. Thanks Bowman!
As a life long conventional fisher, this was mine and my wife's first experience with a fly rod and drift boat. Guide David T. educated us before we ever got on the water: bug/bait life, tackle, casting- then we were off. From the beauty of the river, art of the sport, with a new found love for fly fishing, our expectations were abundantly exceeded. We can't wait to get back on the water, with... More

Bowman was extremely accommodating! We had to reschedule three times due to weather. They were quick to respond and very pleasant to work with. Over all I had a great experience for my first time fly fishing. We will be going back again!
Great day of fishing with my brother in law on the Toccoa. Kyle was outstanding. He immediately assessed our skill level (both of us are experienced anglers) so he concentrated on putting us on the right spots in position to place the flies right where they needed to be.

Great day of fishing with my brother in law on the Toccoa. Kyle was outstanding. He immediately assessed our skill level (both of us are experienced anglers) so he concentrated on putting us on the right spots in position to place the flies right where they needed to be. Even though conditions were not ideal (low water, bright sun, and strong headwind) we were able to land plenty of fish including two nice browns. We originally planned on bringing our own gear, but after talking to Kyle we decided to just bring ourselves. Kyle supplied everything, the right rods, the right flies , a good lunch and best of all Tate's chocolate chip cookies. Bowman was easy to work with and kept use informed through the whole process. We couldn't be happier with the whole experience. Less
We had a GREAT trip with Daniel Bowman! He knows his stuff. He put us on the fish and taught us more in 1/2 day than I learned from a lifetime of fishing. Already booked my next trip with him. Highly recommend Daniel and his team.
Wow, what a great experience! Daniel and his team were very organized from reservations to payment to location and punctuality. Daniel and Kyle were extremely knowledgeable, friendly and helpful. They knew exactly what to do to help us catch! We were able to catch lots of trout and I was just 1inch short of a trophy trout! They even packed a nice lunch, snacks and drinks.

Me and my brother did a half day with Daniel on the Toccoa River and it was a great experience. Daniel is very professional yet relatable and easy to be around. He is extremely knowledgeable and helpful. If you are looking for fly fishing guides in this area, look no further. Will highly recommend and use this company in the future.
Stop looking at reviews and book with these guys already... if you ask anyone in Atlanta or north Georgia they will tell you Bowman’s Fly Fishing is the best guide service in blue ridge and north ga. They will put you on fish and make sure you have a great time like no one else.
Daniel was the perfect guide. Making arrangements was easy, and he knew right where to take us. After we left, he realized I overplayed him and immediately called me. I never would have realized it otherwise.
My dad and I learned how to fly fish with Daniel. He is a good teacher and he is also very knowledgeable. We did a full weekend with Daniel, the first day was a half day trip and the second day a full day trip. Probably caught over 40 fish (we stopped counting). It was a great fishing experience!
Floated the Toccoa with Daniel. We had an absolute blast! There weren't 10 minutes that went by where someone wasn't reeling in a fish. Daniel is a great guide, a patient teacher, and an all around awesome guy. I can't recommend his services enough!
Outstanding trip!!! Daniel’s patience and passion for fishing is second to none!!! Already working on a date for another trip with Bowman Fly Fishing!!!

I went fishing with Daniel Bowman on January 25th and 26th 2019 and had a great time! On this trip I caught several really nice fish and really extended my knowledge. I could tell in the very beginning that Daniel and his guides are really passionate about helping people learn and to enjoy fly fishing! The knowledge they have of the fish, water and fly fishing are second to none. Daniel is also very passionate about preserving the water, fish and land in the area for everybody to enjoy for many years to come. The whole entire trip Daniel paid attention to every detail from catching fish, having fun and extending my knowledge of fly fishing. I would say the most impressive thing about Daniel that I noticed was how everybody from other guide services to random people we encountered had a lot of respect for him as his business. I would have to say that this was one of the best fishing experiences of my life and I plan to fish again with them sometime soon! Less
Daniel’s experience in the water, kindness, encouragement, and advice made for the best day of trout fishing I’ve ever had. I look forward to my next trip!
My wife and I just spent 3 days with Daniel floating the Toccoa River in Blue Ridge had a fantastic experience, lost count on all the caught fish. Daniel is everything in a guide and more, he is very knowledgeable and knows the river in and out and willing to share. Very accommodating and patient all around first Class. See ya in October!
Daniel did an amazing job accommodating a large group of 6 including 2 children. He is extremely knowledgeable and takes the time to teach no matter your skill level. He made pick up and drop off very easy and we all caught a lot of trout. Highly recommend.
Took my family on a full day trip. There were six of us with three guides. It was a great day of fishing. All the guides were very professional and enjoyable. They definitely put us on the fish. A great time was had by all of us. Will certainly book with them again!
My son and I had a fantastic time fishing with Daniel from a drift boat on the Toccoa River. Daniel’s knowledge of the river, fly patterns, and technique is superior. We both caught trout steadily from the beginning of our full-day trip to the end. We will definitely be back.
I highly recommend Bowman Fly Fishing! Daniel takes the time to teach his clients the art of fly fishing! He has never failed to put me on trophy fish. Be sure to look at his photo gallery; pictures speak for themselves.
What a fantastic float trip! I've never learned so much as an amateur fly fisherman, I graduated to intermediate through the amazing patience of my guide Daniel! Great fishing. Great stories, Great time, Great Fishing!
i have fished with Daniel on several occasions in North Ga and TN. His choice of rivers for the fish I have selected has been spot on. He has produced every time. His professionalism, boat skills and local knowledge are top notch. He is the go to Fly Fishing Guide in the North Georgia area.
You guide will is the difference between a good experience and a great one. Daniel was knowledgeable about the local rivers and creeks, and he loves to share his knowledge with his guest.
My husband surprised me with a float trip with Daniel. We caught so many fish it was ridiculous. Daniel had everything we needed and made it a memorable day. You will not be disappointed!
