ABOUT FLYING APPALACHIA LLC

Zach Northern

As a professional guide, I can help turn your fishing adventure into an unforgettable experience. I love meeting new people and showing off what beautiful Appalachia has to offer. Being born and raised in SWVA, I have had the ability to learn and find some of the best water Virginia has to offer. It all started way back when, (pictured) that started a fire inside of me that will forever burn. I hope that after a day together on the water, I can ignite that fire inside of you to get out in the great outdoors. Ever since I caught trout out of a pay pond as a youngster fishing became an obsession. I only began fly fishing in Jan of 2018. I’ll never forget that day, because it was on some of the same water I now offer guides, and I didn’t catch a trout until 7pm after nearly a full day on the water. Me being the competitive person I am, I became infatuated with becoming a good fly angler. It wasn’t until I really hit it hard that I realized how it’s much more than just fishing. It took me a while to realize just how relaxing it really is for your mind. It’s the only thing I’ve found that I can do and nothing else matters. Fly fishing is almost like therapy for me. I’m thankful to finally share my experiences on the water through this amazing art called fly fishing. It’s changed my life, it can change yours too.
