Wade into the heart of Atlanta’s hidden wilderness with the Creek Freaks on a guided fly fishing adventure through Peachtree Creek — a waterway rich with life and history. Just minutes from the city’s skyline, Peachtree Creek flows through lands once traveled by the Creek and Cherokee peoples, who knew these waters for their abundance and connection to the land.

Our trip blends fly fishing for urban shoal bass, redbreast sunfish, and spotted bass, with glimpses of the cool tributaries that occasionally hold stocked or seasonal trout. Along the way, you'll hear stories of Peachtree Creek’s role in Native American settlement, the founding of Atlanta, and its pivotal moments during the Civil War.

Expect a day of casting into deep pools, gentle riffles, and under shady overhangs — all while learning about the creek’s past and its rebirth as an urban natural refuge. Gear up for a soulful day of fishing, walking, and reconnecting to Georgia’s deep river roots.

Trip Highlights:

• Target shoal bass, spotted bass, largemouth bass, redbreast sunfish, and seasonal rainbow trout

• Light hiking and wet wading through hidden stretches of Peachtree Creek

• Historic interpretation of Native American heritage, early Atlanta settlement, and Civil War events

• Beginner to advanced anglers welcome

Step into one of Georgia’s most beautiful and storied landscapes with the Creek Freaks as we explore Sweetwater Creek State Park. This trip offers an immersive fly fishing experience targeting shoal bass, bluegill, and warm water species, with special forays into the cooler headwaters that occasionally shelter trout.

Beyond fishing, Sweetwater’s trails follow the footsteps of the Muscogee (Creek) Nation and settlers who later built the New Manchester Mill — whose Civil War-era ruins still stand sentinel along the creek’s banks. Our guides will share the layered history of Sweetwater, from Native American habitation to early American industry and wartime resilience.

You'll cast flies into clear pools framed by towering hardwoods, fish rocky ledges, and maybe even spot a bald eagle circling overhead. It's a day where fly fishing, hiking, and storytelling meet to honor the creek’s enduring spirit.

Trip Highlights:

• Fly fishing for bass, sunfish, and coldwater opportunities for trout in seasonal spots

• Explore Sweetwater’s shoals, pools, and scenic rapids

• Guided walk through the Native American history and Civil War history of the New Manchester Mill ruins

• Ideal for adventurous anglers and history buffs alike
