The Virginia Fly Fishing & Wine Festival may get bigger every year–growing from a few vendors under a single tent to one of the largest fly fishing events in the country–but we maintain close, personal relationships with sponsors, vendors, and attendees. We enjoy promoting quality names like Chota, Temple Fork Outfitters, Nucanoe, Green Top Sporting Goods, Mossy Creek Fly Fishing, and South Holston River Lodge.

This year we will welcome C. F. River Products, Crook Creek Holler, Rilley Rod Crafters, Hunter Banks Fly Shop, Tuckaseegee Fly Shop, Maine’s Red River Camps, and New York’s Tailwater Lodge.

Vendors are listed on the festival’s website as their spaces are secured. Who’s coming in 2017 on April 8th and 9th? Click here to find out!

Sure, we all dream of fishing the world’s exotic locales–and capturing those dream trips in award-winning photos–but few of us actually make those dreams come true. Enter manufacturer’s rep, expert fly fisher, and photographer extraordinaire Brian O’Keefe, a featured speaker at the 2017 Virginia Fly Fishing & Wine Festival.
