Guide Services
If you are new to fly fishing, sign up for our intro to fly fishing classes with equipment that will put you on the right track. Or maybe you need to learn where to find the wary trout that are found in our spring creeks. For this, I offer year round guiding on the Falling Springs, LeTort, BIg Spings and the Yellow Breeches, as well as some other excellent South Central PA streams, and I will show you how and where to find these trout and techniques and flies used to catch these wild trout.

Private Water Guide Service Antietam Creek
Located near Waynesboro, Pennsylvania, we have access to over three miles of outstanding trout water on the East Branch of Antietam Creek and its major tributary Red Run. Our waters have their beginning on South Mountain, flowing into the Cumberland Valley, influenced strongly by a large number of limestone springs. As a result of this mix, we have aquatics that combine the best of both limestone and freestone streams. A multitude of Wild Brown Trout can be found in both Red Run and the Antietam. Rainbows and occasional Brook Trout are in our waters. May and June have outstanding dry fly fishing, starting with sulphurs and ending with yellow drakes.
Our season begins with nymph and streamer fishing, with some early dry fly action on blue wing olives on a cloudy day. This is a good time to bring in a Brown of 20" or more! May and June bring great fishing; a typical morning can start with nymphs or a streamer, then later in the day turn into dry fly action on caddis or mayflies. In mid-summer, with the exception of some caddis, the hatches are mostly over, but very good dry fly fishing begins with ants, hoppers, and other terrestrials. Fall brings the opportunity to catch large colorful Browns moving upstream heading for the many small tributaries to spawn.
Along with the great fishing we are offering overnight lodging in a beautifully renovated farmhouse with an adjacent barn that is currently being renovated for events. The farmhouse can sleep 7-8 people. The kitchen is fully stocked with coffee and water but feel free to bring your own beverages. Inside you will find a list of nearby restaurants for dining or cook for yourself in the fully outfitted kitchen. There is also an outside deck that has seating and a grill overlooking the beautiful stream.
