Virginia Brook, Rainbow, and Brown Trout Fishing

Here some places to consider:

Visit our "sister" Fly Shop. LocalFlies is selling flies most commonly used by the local fly anglers. LocalFlies has also begun wokring with several local NC, Virginia, Tennessee, and East Coast guides that we have used and trust. Like us LocalFlies.com is able to donate a substantial amount of sales to charity.

Virginia Department of Game and Inland Fisheries -- Virginia contains over 2,800 miles of trout streams, in addition to other waters. Visit the stocking schedule.

Grayson Highlands State Park -- Nearly 10 miles of wild trout stream lie within Grayson Highlands State Park. The cool mountain streams offer those fishing breathtaking scenery while angling for native brook and wild rainbow trout. Several park streams are designated "Special Regulation Wildlife Trout Streams" thus require the use of a single hook and artificial lures, and all trout less than nine inches long must be released unharmed.

Jefferson National Forest -- The forests offer excellent opportunities for both bait and fly fishing. Native brook trout are found in more that 500 miles of streams. Many streams and most lakes are stocked with rainbow trout. State regulations govern hunting and fishing.

In order to match the hatch here are a couple of good hatch links:

Virgina Creeper Fly Fisher -- Virginia and Tenn.
Orvis's Eastern Hatch -- shows hatch schedule with good links to flies

I would try to figure out the similarities between the charts and fish the most common. For selective fish on heavy pressured water I fish less common patterns.

Now go out and enjoy Virginia fabulous trout fishery. Thank a state biologist.
