Thank Goodness I Fly Fish – Whitetop Laurel
Virginia’s Whitetop Laurel Creek ranks as one of the finest natural Wild Trout streams in the Southeastern US.

Target Brook, Brown, and Rainbow Trout with Captain Mark. He’s a stream specialist that knows the area like the back of his hand. Expect to do fly fishing, walking, and wading during your adventure. Keep in mind that these trips are catch-and-release only, so any Trout you catch will be returned to the stream. Rods, reels, and flies are included, along with lunch for the journey.

Your captain
Damascus, Virginia, United States
I've been fly fishing for almost 50 years. I've fished all over the USA for almost all species. I was employed by Orvis for five years in the fly shop in Sevierville, TN. I currently teach fly fishing classes for the US Fish and Wildlife Services. I started fly fishing at 16 and have not fished with anything else the entire time. I only use Orvis gear with a few Hardy fly reels. I've been a guide for almost three decades and I am a fully licensed guide.
