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’"

FEB 7-2025 -Openings now- HIGH, MUDDY Flows today- streams are out from the heavy rains last night and will need several days to clear. Trips year round -please contact me for up for current conditions . We had great day on the water last with several 16-22'' Rainbows netted. Weather temps in the upper 50's to low 60' will make for some excellent seasonal fishing in the coming days. Many of the Special Reg waters are due stockings in the weeks ahead. Stockings were held up the last 4 weeks because the hatchery trucks could not access the waters due the lower air temps and ice.

Guide John Roberts said March & April are excellent months to visit the Upper Jackson. ''The stonefly hatch is particularly strong then, there's an abundance of trout, stream flows are good, and fisherman even have a chance to spot a bald eagle,'' he said Anglers looking for a quality place to stay may want to consider Llewellyn Lodge Bed and Breakfast.
