Looking for a fly fishing guide on the James River?

We are fortunate to have a locally-owned fly fishing shop, Current Culture Fly Shop, located minutes away from the city section of the James River. The shop is owned by two amazing guides, Reid and Simón, that will teach you how to cast a fly rod, land your first fish on the James River, and most importantly, have a wonderful time enjoying nature in our urban fishery!

Stop by their shop, located at 1207 Westover Hills Blvd, Richmond, VA 23225, and let us know if you get out on the water with them!
