Ashe Anglers
Planning your fishing trip in West Jefferson just got easier, thanks to Ashe Anglers.
The stunning scenery here includes backcountry waters, including a few honey holes that only the locals can clue you in on.
Our guides specialize in fly fishing, and that's what you can expect on the day of your trip. You can also choose to spin fish if that is your preference. We will provide rods and reels, as well as lures and flies.
Depending on conditions, you might hook into Brook Trout, Brown Trout, Rainbow Trout, Smallmouth Bass, and plenty more.
Note that your guides practice catch-and-release fishing, so you won't be taking any fish home with you after the trip. Most of your fishing will be done wading up our local streams and rivers. We have all the waders and boots you'll need to stay warm and dry!
Your fishing license for the day is not included, so members of your group will need to buy one. You can find out more online, including exceptions that may apply. Layered clothing and appropriate footwear are always encouraged (if you aren't sure what that means, just ask). It's never a bad idea to bring sunglasses, sunblock, and bottled water, rain or shine.
We will have some snacks and drinks for you. We welcome anglers of all ages on these trips, including kids.

Mike Cates4.7VerifiedGreat Experience
6 Hour Trip – Wading on May 5, 2026 • 2 adultsWanted a true mountain fishing experience, Captain Blayney made that happen. We had a slow start, but Captain had a game plan, and we found some fish. Landed first trout on fly. Captain Blayney worked hard to put us on fish the rest of the day. Very Knowledgeable guide. I would definitely recommend Captain Blayney.

4 Hour Trip – Wading on June 14, 2024 • 2 adultsCould not have ask for a more ideal day. Conditions and Captain Blaney were spot on . Very knowledgeable to the sport/art and area . Captain Blaney’s passion , persistence and positive attitude make for a good trip! We were able to catch a slam including a nice rainbow “pole benda” 8 lbs 24” . I recommend Ash Anglers and Captain Blaney to anyone looking to catch fish in the area. FISH ON !
