Hello all! 

I'm a Idaho dry flier born and raised. I'm currently living in Colorado's Front Range. My parents (still in Idaho) are in their twilight years and I'm helping them hit as many dream streams as possible. They want to see about the best trout streams in Virginia. They're not hog chasers these days and mostly love quiet, easy waters without pressure. I'm looking at maybe March to get them out there.

Fortunately, I work for a DC-based company so it's my chance to get to know some stops for extracurricular business trips too! Would love to join up.

Welcome any suggestions and wisdom for streams, places to stay, and pro tips to make their dreams come true. 

Cheers all!
Jordan

Jordan,
The first stop if you live outside Washington, D.C., is Mossy Creek--https://mossycreekflyfishing.com/

Further south is the Jackson River and a lot of good guiding which others will name for you.

Enjoy! What a nifty question!

Hi Jordan,

Mossy Creek you should definitely hit, but I'm inside the beltway and Mossy Creek is a 2 hour drive.

District Angling is local to DC and in Arlington, VA.  Very knowledgeable guys there and while we dont have trout waters in DC, you only need to travel about an hour to find something and they can put you on that.

And, we should also mention Orvis in Tysons Corner.   Great group there as well.

Tom
