Guided Fly Fishing Trips on Virginia's Top Rivers
Experience the Best Fly Fishing Virginia Has to Offer
Whether you’re after hard-fighting smallmouth bass, muskie, wild trout, or a peaceful private water escape, New River Fly Fishing offers professional guided trips suited for all skill levels. Rods, flies, waders, and boots are included if necessary. Our guides will provide water, but you will need to bring your own lunch and snacks.
We’re happy to host groups, though we maintain a 2:1 angler-to-guide ratio for the best experience. You’ll need a valid Virginia fishing license (ages 16+), a hat, sunglasses, seasonal layers, and a rain jacket—your guide will contact you beforehand with trip details and meeting instructions.
If you need help picking the right trip or booking for a larger group, don’t hesitate to request a custom option or give us a call.
