Types of fishing available:  Specializing in fly and light tackle fishing with artificial lures and live peanut bunker on the Chesapeake Bay and its tributaries.  Other methods of fishing are available when requested or as conditions dictate.  As your guide, I will do whatever it takes to make a trip fun and successful.  Feel free to ask questions or look for advice during our time together.  Remember that I am here for you!

Locations:  Charters are based out of two locations to provide a variety of fishing opportunities utilizing boats designed specifically for each area.  Norfolk/ VA Beach - fishing the open water structure of the Hampton Roads and Chesapeake Bay bridge tunnels as well as nearshore Atlantic Ocean.  Middle Peninsula - fishing the shallow water of the Piankatank River, Rappahannock River, Fleets Bay, Gwynns Island, Winter Harbor, Mobjack Bay and Dragon Run.

Things to bring:  Camera, food, drinks, sunscreen, bug spray, polarized sunglasses, hat, boat or tennis shoes (no dark soles), foul weather gear and layered clothing (bring more clothing than you think is needed b/c temperatures on the water can be much cooler than on land). 

Bay Fly Fishing LLC encourages CPR (catch, photo, release) fishing, however clients are welcome to keep enough fish for a few meals.
