"Roberts knows the area waters with the sort of familiarity that only comes 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’"

Jim Casada - Former President-Outdoor Writers Association of America OWAA

MARCH 12, 2026- EXCELLENT FISHING -   -An exceptional time to dry fly fish now with  nice flows and  lots  of Caddis and  Mayfly hatches  ahead of schedule. This increased aquatic  insect presence  means increased trout activity and the  70 degree air temps and upper 40-low 50 water temps are factors also. This coming  weekend will see air temps still in the comfortable 50' and 60's.  I have an opening this  Sunday and several next week. Please contact me for trip availablity, very latest  stream conditions to me test yourselves with the high energy, hard fighting brightly colored Rainbow, Brook and Brown trout on  one of  Virginia's Blue Ribbon trout waters  including  the ones  in Bath & Highland. Your guide John is a 68 year veteran on Virginia's Blue Ribbon trout waters. Please contact me for the various trips offered and fishing  current conditions. We can customize one to your skill level. I can have you on a  Virginia  Blue Ribbon trout stream in 8 minutes.  Beginner trips available along with our Combo trips. Many times I can go on short notice , contact me at
