Festival Director Beau Beasley with his daughter Maggie

The mission of the Virginia Fly Fishing & Wine Festival is to introduce as many people as possible to the quiet sport of fly fishing. We fulfill this mission by offering instruction–in casting, fly tying, resources conservation, and more–that is geared to festivalgoers of all ages and ability levels and from different walks of life. We hope to inculcate in this next generation of fly anglers the ethos of fly fishing: to be diligent and thoughtful stewards and conservators both of our precious natural resources and of the quiet sport itself.
