Native Trout Fly Fishing

Native Trout Fly Fishing was created to bring clients to the Shenandoah National Park to fish for brookies (my favorite type of fishing), but was always dependent on water levels for success. As evidenced by the last two years of low water levels, this has made my opportunities to fish clients in the park minimal at best.

Well, through the generosity of William Heresniak of Eastern Trophies Fly Fishing (www.easterntrophies.com), I will now be running a raft for Eastern Trophies this year on the North Branch of the Potomac River, which is a tailwater and therefore not as effected by poor rainfall levels as the park and provides good fishing year round. I have been fly fishing the North Branch for 3 years now, and my largest trout have all come from its waters. William has graciously taught me his fishing strategies that have made him such a successful guide on the North Branch over that time, and I look forward to sharing with clients this year.

Fear not fans of the brook trout however, we'll be looking to take clients back into the park whenever we can, but until water levels improve, I don't want to stress the ecosystem by fishing in the park too often.

Check back here for updates on Native Trout Fly Fishing's activities. I'm headed to Montana for a week starting this Saturday!!
