We are getting ready for our On The Stream Fly Fishing Schools for 2023. These are taught on either the North or South Fork of the Shenandoah. Rod and reel outfits are provided for the day. If you are interested in learning the art of fly fishing, then register today.
If you need help on finding access to either the North Fork or the South Fork of the Shenandoah River, then stop by the fly shop or give us a call at 540-984-4212. Be sure to check out our weekly stream reports, posted online for both bass and trout streams.
