Intermediate: We will help select the type of water you request based on your experience. We will instruct only when requested and troubleshoot if fishing is slow*. You will enjoy your late afternoon and evening on the water in solitude as we stay at a distance the majority of the time.

Beginner/Novice: We will select a water suitable for your level. We will include casting instructions/adjustments, reading the water, understanding structure, air and water temperatures, water flows, seasonal patterns, fly selection and more. We will stay at your side most of the time but move away for awhile if you feel a need to practice and work out any issues on your own.

*For the Advanced and Intermediate Anglers, everything under Beginner/Novice will gladly be included if you wish. 

BAD WEATHER POLICY: Wild Mountain Trout Fly Fishing/Virginia Smallmouth will be the "sole decisions-makers" concerning weather and/or water conditions.
