Hi, I’m Zach with Blue Ridge Fishing Adventures. I've spent a lifetime learning the art of fly fishing and have a passion for passing on that knowledge to others. I offer full and half day guided fly fishing excursions, beginner classes, and fly tying lessons. Let me personally tailor an adventure to your needs and expectations!

Centrally located near historic Lexington, Virginia, Blue Ridge Fishing Adventures guides fly fishing excursions throughout the western part of the state. We offer world famous Brook Trout fishing in Shenandoah National Park (an hour outside of Washington D.C.), wading trips on miles of stocked trout rivers, easy to access urban trout fishing in Roanoke and Waynesboro, private access on an amazing Smallmouth Bass river near Lexington, and float trips on the South Fork of the Shenandoah, James, and Jackson Rivers. Blue Ridge Fishing Adventures has a trip that will make for a day to remember.
ABOUT
Virginia offers truly world class angling opportunities. Our cold water fisheries offer native Brook Trout in high mountain streams, wild Rainbow and Brown Trout in large tailwaters, and over 800 miles of stocked trout streams. During the warmer months, Smallmouth Bass fishing is a major draw. In addition to Smallies, anglers can expect to find Largemouth Bass, Rock Bass, Carp, Fall Fish, Catfish, and Sunfish in the same waters.
​
I grew up chasing trout in the notable rivers of Colorado. The South Platte River is a gold medal trout water, where many of my skills were honed. I have also fished the fresh waters of many regions of the U.S. I moved to Virginia in 2019 and have been learning as many of the local rivers as possible throughout the past several years. I also have private access to the Maury River, in Rockbridge County.
​
I took a backward path to fly fishing, actually starting by tying flies. I have tied all the flies I fish since I was 10 years old. Many of the patterns that you'll find in my fly boxes are originals that have proved themselves time and again.
