Fly Fishing Tips
The fishing day is longer now, try working the Sulphur and Caddis hatches later in the evening. Many anglers leave the stream too soon, missing the best action of the day.

"Roberts knows the area waters with the sort of familiarity that only come with a lifetime of angling, and he has the sort of laid back personality that works equally well for putting novices at ease or offering tips to seasoned veterans. He offers visiting anglers an impressive variety of fly fishing venues’"

MAY OUTLOOK
May rates at the top top of the scale as one of the best flyfishing months in Virginia. Lots of aquatic insects are hatching, water temps and flows offer perfect comfort levels for the trout. Hatches of the various aquatic insect orders are going on most of the day and toward the end of the month late evening trout activity increases. Cloudy damp May days can be spectacular times, watch for swallows and bats out midday feasting on the insects hatching. This is a great indicator that trout justmight be feating on the same ones. Fishing after rain events this month can be very productive as vlong as the streams don't get blown out. Trout key on minnows bigtime this month, having some like imitations and presentations is advisable. We have openings for our Intro & Stream trips now. Plan a trip that will provide a lifetime memory. John at This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. or 1-800-882-1145.
