Guided Trips
We offer guided trips for
experienced fishermen and fly ladies, beginners, or anyone wishing to learn the stream with
assistance, as well as day passes for more experienced anglers.
Our primary guided trips reach a wide range of rivers within 2 hours of Angler's
Lane ....

James
River - Recognized by many as Virginia's best smallmouth bass river,
the James River runs through the heart of Lynchburg, our home
base. We know the river well and have access to private and
public landings. Enjoy this local treasure with us as you
tangle with the fish many consider the fiercest fighter pound-for-pound
in freshwater! Take advantage of our familiarity with this
local treasure.

Staunton
River - We have private access and own several
properties along the entire 30-mile stretch of the Staunton
River below Leesville Dam.
Unlike the James access is spotty along this river.
Owner Doug Lane grew up in Altavista within shotgun distance of
the Staunton, and has been fishing the river since 1969 and
has floated it seriously for over 22 years. He learns something new about it
with each trip. In addition to our usual goal of smallmouth bass, the
Staunton holds a wide variety of other species including largemouth,
spotted bass, striped bass, walleye, catfish,
long-nosed gar, rock bass, carp and others. It is not
uncommon to catch 5 or more different species, and 9 is our
record in one day. One never knows what
to expect on the mysterious Staunton.

Jackson River - Enjoy a guided float fishing trip for wild trout on the
Jackson River, considered Virginia's premier tailwater trout
fishery and the headwaters of the James. We launch from our cabin, Stonesthrow On Jackson
and our three other properties. You can also choose to overnight at Stonesthrow,
our cabin on the river, if you wish to wake up right on the
river! Enjoy a trip floating and wading for wild
rainbow and brown trout below Lake Moomaw near Hot Springs, Virginia, and the
famed Homestead resort. We also offer day walk-and-wade trips using these
same properties and public access points which can be delicate
on this river known for
landowner rights issues. You will encounter terrific scenery and usually outstanding
fishing on the Jackson with an Angler's Lane guide. We have been learning this
river for years, though the river still holds many secrets, a few of which we
unlock with each additional trip.

Rivenridge at Piney Forks Fishing Lodge offers native brook trout
fishing. Some sections of this beautiful freestone stream are stocked in
spring and fall by Virginia Department of Game & Inland Fisheries. Enjoy
the Piney's best on the exclusive water of Angler's Lane. Rivenridge
at Piney Forks, the private lodge operated by Angler's Lane, offers a
beautiful and exciting array of trout fishing.

 One
moment you can catch abundant, native brook trout in the North Fork, a freestone
stream. From the pond anglers can pull in sizable rainbow and brook trout up to 5 pounds. Later proceed to the South Fork
for brookies 10" to 20" stocked amidst beautiful,
hard-fighting native brook trout. Fly fishing only, catch and release. You can rent the lodge
overnight (same arrangement as beach house--you rent the entire house,
linens provided, kitchen and grill available). As an option, an Angler's Lane
guide can help you learn the water quickly. Day passes available unguided if lodge not
in use. Call or e-mail store for details.

New
River - Considered the 2nd oldest river in the world, the
New offers prolific smallmouth bass fishing. We know a variety of the
stretches on this River well and have fished it since the early 1990's.
The New offers muskie and walleye fishing as well as its
renowned reputation for smallmouth.

Tye
River - The Tye has come back nicely since Hurricane Camille ripped through this river in 1969. Browns, rainbows and brooks can be taken on a fly by the studious angler.
Located less than a dozen miles from the Piney, we enjoy fishing
the Tye and its tributaries to mix up our water choices. To
learn this historical tributary of the James, book us for a
trip.
