We will be happy to help you find good trout fishing in the Shenandoah National Park and exciting Smallmouth fishing on both the North and South Forks of the Shenandoah River.

From April - September we are typically booked four to six weeks in advance. If you are calling for a guide trip during the prime months, please keep this in mind. Upon confirmation of the availability of a guide we hold your reservation for 24 hours while we wait to hear from you with payment information. After the 24 hours has passed your guide may still be available but there is no guarantee.

We will return your call as quickly as possible however, this may take up to 36 hours during fishing season due to early mornings and late evenings spent on ongoing guide trips.
