Float Fishing Trips
Float Fish Virginia's Warmwater Rivers
Come fish for smallmouth bass, largemouth bass, musky, carp, gar and other warm-water species
Our guided float trips drift the Shenandoah and James Rivers. With over 100 miles of river to choose from our daily float trips typically cover 8-12 miles of prime water. Float trips typically last 8 hours and include lunch, drinks, and tackle.
Our guides are experienced boatmen with an intimate knowledge of these rivers. Our custom-built rafts are state of the art, spacious, and comfortable. We happily accommodate both fly and spin/conventional tackle anglers. All boats are equipped with the finest fly rods, spin rods, and tackle available.
The Shenandoah, known for its numbers of fish, is listed as one of the “50 Places to Fly Fish Before You Die.” You will float through civil war battlefields and alongside Massanutten and the Blue Ridge Mountains. Smallmouth are the primary target, but anglers routinely catch huge Largemouth, Sunfish, Carp, Catfish, and Musky.
The James River is known for trophy Smallmouth Bass. While not holding the same large numbers of fish as the Shenandoah, your chances of encountering a 20+ inch fish are better on the James.
We float these rivers for from mid-April through September. Late summer brings the best conditions for a top water bass action. Musky floats are offered in May and June, as well as September through March.
We look forward to sharing an incredible day floating the rivers of Virginia with you!
