Mossy Creek Fly Fishing

Mossy Creek Fly Fishing is a fly shop and guide service in Harrisonburg, Virginia, with a guide fleet the shop puts at seven boats and a program that reaches from limestone spring creeks and mountain brook trout streams out to warmwater float trips. On the Shenandoah the shop treats smallmouth bass as the headline fish from April into September, and it describes the river itself as relatively lazy, mostly slow moving water broken by small ledge riffles and runs rather than serious rapids, dropping very low through late summer. Largemouth bass of Florida strain, carp and catfish are also listed for the river, and musky is called out as a fall through winter pursuit. Carp come into play once water temperatures reach about fifty degrees in spring and stay in the mix into fall. Guided days are sold in half day and full day lengths, and float fishing trips sit alongside wading trips, tenkara days and private water on the shop’s trip menu.
