Elk River Inn & Cabins is a fully licensed, professional Fly Fishing WV outfitter providing you with high quality services. Our fly fishing guides are natural teachers very much in tune with the environment, and they love what they do!
Fly fishing is rapidly becoming the fishing style of choice for many anglers, and as the "Birthplace of Rivers," Pocahontas County WV offers some of the best fly fishing on the east coast.
Fly fishing has many different facets. The stream just outside our door is the Old Field Fork, one of the headwaters of the Elk River. But West Virginia Fly Fishing on the Greenbrier, Williams, and Cranberry River is a memorable experience as well. Each river requires a different style and different flies and you'll come to respect and enjoy the challenge each river presents. For fishing near Elkins WV, we are located in the beautiful Monongahela National Forest and are the best outfitter and West Virginia Fishing school in the region.
Join one of our guides on your choice of a 6 hour "Wade & Fish" trip. This trip includes lunch (special diets can be accommodated). Contact us with your questions, or for a quote for your larger group.

An excellent option for the beginning angler who is very serious about increasing their skill level.
Two full days of guided fishing and 2 nights lodging. This can be any two days, mid week or weekend.
After reviewing your skills, you will check your equipment and then begin casting and working one on one with your guide/instructor. Casting techniques covered include: roll cast, roll cast pickup, pick up and lay down, false casting and shooting line. We will then move toward the stream and discuss reading the water and how it affects your fly line.
Your second day starts with coffee on the deck overlooking the Elk River headwaters and the rolling Pleasant Valley. The day begins with a how-to on reading water, current and fish approach options. As we fish the river, the focus will be on sight casting, nymphs near the bottom and making wading techniques safe and efficient. The afternoon will be spent identifying basic stream and river insects. As the late afternoon hatch begins, you'll be ready for action.

Elk River guide service offers a unique brookie trip that will challenge even the hardiest angler. We'll stalk the wild brooks that have been here since the Ice Age 20,000 years ago.
Brooks are strong & resilient and have survived the cutting of the virgin forest in the late 1890's, the introduction of the German Brown trout and Western Rainbows, and the coal mining that took place on a small level here in the 1940s. The best West Virginia Trout Fishing brookie steams are found in remote mountain valleys and steep drainages that require skill & stamina to find and fish successfully. Our county boasts the best brookie fisheries that the Mid Atlantic region has to offer. This is possible due to the large amount of WV state forest and federally owned Monongahela National forest land (64% of county acreage) which can't be logged and developed like other areas in the region. If you want breathtaking, big mountain scenery, this is the trip for you. Contact us with any questions.

This is a float trip and the cost is 595.00 for 1 and 695.00 for 2 anglers .
