Featured Flies of the Month

Harry Murray's recommended fly list  for this time of the year.  (October 2025)

Mountain Trout Native Brook Streams -- The brook trout will start spawning in October. I prefer not to fish these streams during the Fall months during spawning season. Prime Time to fish the native brook trout streams is April - mid June.  For more information on the hatch charts, see my book Trout Fishing in the Shenandoah National Park. Want to learn more? Register for a Spring 2026 Mountain Trout School.
