As someone who had never even held a fly fishing rod or worn waders, Cory was an excellent teacher and helpful guide for my first and second time in North Georgia. Can't recommend highly enough!

Cory is a great guide, he is very knowledgeable and put us on fish. He was very quick to remedy snags and safe to release catches. I highly recommend him and will be using him again in the future. Tight lines.

I am now a part time guide in East Tennessee, and the love of fly fishing began with a few guides trips by Cory on the Soque River. The first time I hooked into a 20” rainbow trout I was hooked, and Cory was the guy who showed me how and got my passion started.

I can’t recommend Mountain Trout Outfitters enough and our guide Cory! From start to finish, Cory was the perfect mix of professional and fun, making the entire fly fishing experience unforgettable. His deep knowledge of the area, expert tips, and patient teaching helped me not only improve my skills but also catch plenty of fish! Cory’s enthusiasm and passion for the sport was infectious, and he went above and beyond to ensure I had a great day on the water. Whether you’re a seasoned angler or a complete beginner, you’ll be in great hands with him. Thanks to Cory and Mountain Trout Outfitters for an incredible adventure— I can’t wait to come back!

Excellent Experience, Cory is a fantastic guide!

Cory at Mountain Trout Outfitters is GREAT! He took me and one of my son's (beginner) out and we absolutely crushed fish! Cory put us on fish all day long. Can't wait to get back out with him.

Cory makes the trip an experience. He doesn’t just tell you what to do and how to fly-fish. I had multiple amazing trips with him. Because of him I have great fly-fishing skills. Luke is right there with him on skill and knowledge, I guarantee these two guides will leave you wanting more and wanting to go out and keep practicing by the end of it. Definitely worth taking a guided trip with them!

Cory Hallett took me fly fishing in the spring of 2024. I’d never been before. I had an amazing experience! He had 3 skill-sets that made all the difference. He knew how to teach. He knew what to teach. And he was encouraging. As a result, I had an unforgettable day . . . and I caught 3 fish! Cory is an all star at teaching people how to fly fish. Actually he’s a 5 star. Thanks Cory!

Corey is an excellent guide that we have fished with multiple times. We always catch good fish with him and he makes it such an enjoyable experience. Highly recommend!

I've been out with Cory for a number of years on various waters around the Southeast for both personal and business and have been with Luke in more recent time. These guys have the depth and knowledge to work with the nervous first timers all the way up to experienced anglers. Their focus is on the total experience - but beware, you'll develop a new passion for the sport!
