Fishing at Callaway Gardens

A family and golf resort, thousands of beautiful acres in a nature preserve and natural botanic garden, plus a dozen small, private lakes chock full of big bream and bass - this is Callaway. Come fish with us.

It's a great place for the family - bring them on your fishing trip and we'll teach them how. Or let them take off and enjoy the many charms of Callaway while you do the fishing.

The lakes here were built in the 40's and 50's, and stocked with largemouth bass, blue, red-breasts, shellcrackers, warmouth, hybrid bass, grass carp and catfish. In the winter we even stock trout. Every year, we land several bass in the 10-lb plus range. And the bream - 1 lb fish are not uncommon, and some of the shellcrackers will push 2 lbs.

Callaway is a great place to learn to fly fish - beautiful surroundings, wide-open casting, skilled instructors, and good fishing.

For the experienced angler, it offers the chance to land large numbers of fish with the possibility of a real trophy. And the family will have plenty to do sampling all of Callaway's other offerings, so he can fish to his heart's content.

This is a year-round fishery. The bass and bream fishing is good right through the winter, and we have trout in 3 of the lakes from November through April.

We furnish all equipment, or you can bring your own. Our guides are experienced professionals, many certified as instructors by the Federation of Fly Fishers. We also offer hourly casting lessons and fly-tying lessons.

Callaway is also home to one of the oldest fly-fishing schools in the country. Offered monthly, this two-day school includes classroom time, casting instruction, plus fishing on the Callaway lakes and the Flint River.

For questions or to reserve a booking, contact Kent at 706-883-7700 or by email or call the fly shop at 706-663-5142.

The fishing is great all year long.

Bass and bream - March thru October

Golf  at Callaway Gardens

The superbly designed and meticulously maintained courses feature woodland borders and lakeland settings.  Our famous Mountain View course is ranked among the nation's top-rated courses by Golf Digest and Golf magazines, and served as the site of the PGA Tour's Buick Challenge for more than a decade.  The layout for our original course, Lake View, was inspired by founder Cason Callaway who believed that playing golf should be a pleasant experience in beautiful surroundings.
