Elk Springs Resort

Elk Springs Resort is a destination fly fishing property at 228 Dry Branch Road in Monterville, West Virginia, open year round. It is more than a guide service: the site carries family cabins, lodge rooms, studio units and primitive cabins, a riverside restaurant called Ellie May’s, stocked trout pay ponds aimed at families, and what the business describes as the largest fly shop in West Virginia. Instruction is a substantial part of the offer, with private and group casting lessons and fly fishing schools running from beginner through to advanced. That combination of lodging, food, retail and tuition on a single riverside property is why anglers travelling any distance tend to base themselves here for several days rather than driving in and out for a single outing.
