LATEST NEWS!
As we approach the end of the year for 2011, the lake levels on Lake Lanier continue to decrease about a foot a week on average. At this point in mid November, we are approaching the 13 foot below full pool level with little to no rains in sight throughout the winter months. As the lake decreases, I have often found that fishing gets better and better ... just remember to listen to what the fish are telling you!
Please remember to review your lake map as I continue to see a few people going over very dangerous structure and timber out there. Please remember to use caution for yourself and others.
Everyone be safe fishing!
Happy Fishing! :-)

Lake Lanier Fishing Guides
With so many fishing guides on Lake Lanier that work year round (either part or full time), who
do you book a trip with? Who will actually show and teach you while on the water?

To answer that question, it depends mostly on

who you schedule a trip with and their fishing
skills, knowledge and years on the water.

There are some excellent guides (some I have been out with, some I have heard stories of) on Lake Lanier, but I am asked a good bit by email who I would recommend. So to make it simple on a few people who are interested in hiring a local guide for Lake Lanier, I have started compiling a small list of local guides whom I believe will put you in the right direction below. Hope it helps!
Note: If you are a local guide on Lake Lanier and wish to be listed on our page, please let us know.
