Brook Trout Guide Trips--Full Day
Native Brook Trout! We guide these walk/wade trips in and around the beautiful Shenandoah National Park and George Washington National Forest in the heart of the Shenandoah Valley and a short drive from our fly shop in Edinburg, Virginia. Want to hike to a stream? Let's go! Not inclined or able to walk very far? Not a problem. Give us a call!
Prime time for Guided Trout Fly Fishing Trips: Late March to mid-June
Please note: We stop trout trips in Oct.- Nov. due to spawning. Float trips are not available for Brook Trout Fishing
Smallmouth Bass Guide Trips--Full Day
Shenandoah River Smallmouth Bass! Our Bass Guide Trips are conducted on the North and South Fork of the Shenandoah River which are both a short drive from our fly shop in Edinburg, Virginia. Float and Walk/Wade Trips available.
Prime Times for Guided Smallmouth Bass Fly Fishing Trips: April to mid-October (these dates are approximate and weather dependent.)
Float Trips for Smallmouth Bass--Full Day
The location for our Smallmouth Bass Float Tips is water level dependent. We float the North and South Fork of the Shenandoah River. We utilize a Hyde Rocky Mountain Skiff or a Hyside Raft for these float trips (both boats are set up for one or two anglers) depending on location and available access. Give us a call to discuss your options. Early season typically means more water which our guides like because they can take you to little fished areas on our rivers.
