New River Smallmouth Adventures employs some of the most experienced and knowledgeable smallmouth fishing guides in Virginia, and is the premiere spin and fly fishing trophy smallmouth guide service in the southeast. Please give us a call (540-921-7438) during our business hours (8:30a - 6p) or you can email us at info@newriveroutdoorcompany.com, and we'd love to help you plan your next New River Smallmouth Adventure.
The New River is recognized as the "second oldest river in the world" and is estimated to be between 10 and 360 million years old. Characterized by its extensive ledge systems, deep pools, numerous rocky runs, and plentiful forage, the New River has all the necessary ingredients to garner the ranking as one of the best rivers in the country for producing citation-sized (20" and up) smallmouth.
Our "New River Fishing Trips" are run on over 100+ miles of the New River in the state of Virginia. We cater to both spin and fly anglers and run guided trips from March through November. We are equipped with fully outfitted self-bailing rafts with fishing frames. We carry a full array of tackle and flies on every trip and furnish our clients with G.Loomis spin and fly rods. Bonus fish include walleye, stripers, hybrids, muskie, carp, rock bass, brim, rainbow trout, flathead or channel catfish, largemouth bass, and Kentucky spotted bass; all of which have been caught by our clients on guided trips.
Our New River lead guide, Britt Stoudenmire, is one of the most experienced and knowledgeable (spin and fly) smallmouth guides in Virginia spending well over 200 days a year on the water guiding and fishing. Britt has appeared in a number of national and regional outdoor publications including Bassmasters Magazine, Cabelas Outfitter Journal, Woods and Water, Harris' Bass Fishing Annual, and VA/WV Game & Fish.
