The fishing in Virginia is as diverse as the state’s terrain. From 600-pound tuna in its offshore waters and delicious flounder in the Chesapeake Bay to oversize bucket mouths in the piedmont lakes and 8-inch brook trout in the bubbling mountain streams, the Old Dominion State offers something for every angler. Fishing Virginia describes all the best waters from the mountains to the coast, so anglers will know exactly when and where to fish, how to get there, and what kind of gear to use.

The authors share their intimate knowledge of 140 top fly-fishing and bait-fishing spots throughout Virginia, including in-depth site descriptions, the species present, and the best times to fish; tips on lures, flies, bait, and tackle; and information about access, availability of campgrounds, and regulations. Detailed site maps and sections dedicated to trout fishing and urban fishing holes round out this angler’s companion.
