06/30/09-EXCELLENT LEVELS- We have been catching some very nice Rainbows the last several days. Water levels are down a bit but cooler water is keeping trout active. Caddis, Green Drake, Sulphur action later in the day. Terrestrials activity is heating up with the warmer air temps. Ant, beetles, small crickets, hoppers will serve you well right now. I have openings the next several days including July 4th weekend. We took a Trophy 23'' hooked jawed Rainbow on my Buffalo guided trip a couple of days ago. Call me at 1-800-882-1145 or e-mail me to line up a trip.

Fishing Tip of the Week--- Tippet and fly selection will weigh mre heavily as the clear waters go down a bit so don't afraid to lighten up if you see trout snubbing your fly. Terrestrials are coming on strong now so make sure you have plenty of ants, beetles, hoppers,etc. Work your sulphur, Mahoghany Duns, and caddis dries later in the day.

The private Buffalo Creek Catch & Release Section can make
for a very pleasant 1st trout experience. We have been taking some nice holdover fish on nymphs and dries and there are plenty of freshly stock fish in the stream now.. Excellent fishing right now, lots of trophy holdover fish. This water has some of the most spectacular colored Rainbows that I have ever seen. This section has a lot of fish right now from 8-26''. It was established as a Special Introductory water. I do several of my Introduction to Fly Fishing Trips there. The stream is 8 minutes away and is very caster friendly. Buffalo is home to some very nice Rainbow & Brown Trout as well as some colorful wild Browns and Rainbows.. It's important to come away with a great first experience. This stream is fairly open which is an advisable starting place for new casters. Wildlife sightings are interesting too. The stream has lots of seasonal insect hatches. I offer a new day trip which combines an Introduction to flyfishing and Basic Casting on a pond, then we move to the stream for what I call the real world of trout fishing- reading waters, casting,dries & nymph presentation, etc- we try to put you in ''a trout way.''

-----------------------------------------------------------
We do offer a separate Casting Pond for those wanting to learn basic casting without wading. The pond is stocked with Rainbows and Brookies in the 10-24'' range. Learn the discipline of hooking a fish on a dry fly, a half day here can give you a great introduction to the basics of the sport. We go over basic entomolgy, safety,presentation, equipment, knots, and more in a very relaxed atmosphere. No stress here. This experience can provide lots of confidence building for beginners to flyfishing for sure.

Virginia’s Blue Ridge and Allegheny Mountains hold some of the finest trout fishing water in the country and the Llewellyn Lodge offers some spectacular fly-fishing trips in quest of beautiful Rainbow, Brown, and Brook Trout.  John Roberts, your guide, has over 47 years of fishing experience and is sure to give you some special insight into how to catch them. Instruction without frustration is offered and your classroom is along streams that offer great scenery as well as the prospect to land one of these wonderful fish. 

"A great way to experience southern hospitality and excellent trout fishing is to plan a stay at the Llewellyn Lodge."

Lex Lutto, Southern Sporting Journal June 2004

Learn the secrets of how to find them and in the process learn to appreciate them and their environment. Tips are available for the more advanced fisherman as well. All equipment used is top quality, we do have wader & equipment rentals. Many of our fishermen like to do a two trip package, sampling the smaller streams the first day and then try to hone their skills on a larger stream the next day.

OUR TRIPS WERE FEATURED ON DISCOVERY CHANNEL’S
2007 FISHING ROAD TRIP USA WITH PAUL YOUNG

All fishing is catch and release on these pristine waters. Half-day and all day trips are offered to Fishing streams including Buffalo Creek, Jackson River, Back Creek, Bullpasture River, native trout waters, and numerous spring creeks. For beginners a basic casting instruction is offered and John tries to get you on the water for some action soon after. Lunch is provided on the all day trips.

Rates range from $210 to $495 on the various trips, which have been featured in Southern Living, The Angling Report, Va Game & Fish, Discovery Channel’s Fishing Road Trip USA 2007, and several more angling publications. Gift certificates are always popular. The Lodge is a great place to stay during your visit; restaurants, shops, historic sites and the colleges are a pleasant walk away. Lots of help and advice offered by your hosts will help see that you get the most out of your trip to Historic Lexington. There’s plenty to see for a spouse who might not be fishing inclined. Check the Lodge’s Outdoor Adventure page for other outstanding outdoor adventure possibilities.

‘’Roberts knows the area waters with the sort of familiarity that only come with a lifetime of angling, and he has the sort of laid back personality that works equally well for putting novices at ease or offering tips to seasoned veterans. He offers visiting anglers an impressive variety of fly fishing venues’’
