Fly Fishing Camp for ages 11-16 is designed to turn more advanced anglers into self-sufficient fly fishers. Throughout the week, campers gain on-the-water experience learning the basics of fly fishing, including setting up their rod, knot tying, casting techniques, choosing the right fly, and fighting a fish on the fly. They may have the opportunity to fish from land, wade in rivers, and fish from watercraft. Campers learn about different waterways in Virginia, especially the local James River. Throughout the week, they may visit different locations, both public and private, searching for the fish of a lifetime. The camp has access to great private ponds where campers enjoy the water and fish all to themselves. In past years, they've had success catching fish along the Appomattox River, James River, and Rivanna River. Target fish include Largemouth Bass, Smallmouth Bass, Sunfish/Bluegill varieties, Catfish, Crappie, and more. This is a great place to start learning the basics if you have an interest in the Overnight Fly Fishing Camps in Southwest Virginia.
