Our main season runs from March through November, but we also do Winter floats when conditions permit. Many of our repeat clients book our "Extended Day" float trips where we fish 12-14 hours in a day and cover 10-16 miles in a day depending on the float we do. We also offer custom overnight trips for Trophy Smallmouth Bass on undisclosed rivers in Virginia. Email us to book.
