Premier Fishing Guide in the Virginia Shenandoah Valley!
Over 60 Years of Fly Fishing Experience on Local Waters.
"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’"

''Brookies are my favorite. They're the only trout native to Virginia and they live in nice places. John catches a memory, a recollection of the fragrant smells of mountain greenery, a chorus of birdsongs mingling with the symphony of a rushing stream- things that once experienced, hook you as surely as a fly hooks a brookie.''
