At the Virginia fly fishing show i chatted with a lady from whatever county whitetop laurel is in and she recommended waiting until 2027 to fish it. Said a lot of work is still being done and some roads/access are not available. TBD on how the fish are doing.

Mossy and the Jackson were good recommendations for sure. Whitetop Laurel should be on the list. And the Rapidan River.
Cordially yours,

Hi Jordan,
Mossy Creek you should definitely hit, but I'm inside the beltway and Mossy Creek is a 2 hour drive.
District Angling is local to DC and in Arlington, VA. Very knowledgeable guys there and while we dont have trout waters in DC, you only need to travel about an hour to find something and they can put you on that.
Hello all!
I'm a Idaho dry flier born and raised. I'm currently living in Colorado's Front Range. My parents (still in Idaho) are in their twilight years and I'm helping them hit as many dream streams as possible. They want to see about the best trout streams in Virginia. They're not hog chasers these days and mostly love quiet, easy waters without pressure. I'm looking at maybe March to get them out there.
Fortunately, I work for a DC-based company so it's my chance to get to know some stops for extracurricular business trips too! Would love to join up.
Welcome any suggestions and wisdom for streams, places to stay, and pro tips to make their dreams come true.
Cheers all!
Jordan
