Welch's Guide Service

Welch's Guide Service Highly rated, USCG licensed fishing guide located in the heart of the North Georgia mountains. 🎣 Welcome to Welch’s Guide Service!

We are located roughly 85 miles north of Atlanta in Blue Ridge, GA. We have access to over eight different lakes in three different states (North Carolina, Georgia, Tennessee). Our fishing guides are licensed Captains and can get you hooked on smallmouth bass, largemouth bass, spotted bass, striper and hybrids, which are all native to the North Georgia area. Two of the lakes in which we serve, Lak

e Chickamauga and Lake Burton, are national naked big bass fisheries. Take a gander around the site and select the “booking” feature when you’re ready to hit the water!

Spring fishing is in the air

Spring fishing is in the air. The water levels are coming up, and the water temperatures are on the rise. With the full moon last week, it triggered the fish to start moving up. Were only a few weeks away, and the 1st stage of fish will start spawning. We offer access to seven pristine lakes across three states: North Carolina, Tennessee, and Georgia....
