Sugar Hollow Farm on the Moormans river


Sugar Hollow Farm is located just 15 minutes from Charlottesville and is one of Virginia’s premier trophy trout fisheries. This is a beautiful 500 acre farm with walnut groves and open meadows. With over 3/4 mile of fishable water, the Moormans river provides an exceptional fly fishing opportunity for those seeking a full or half day respite from the town. The river is typical of your classic Virginia trout stream with numerous pools interspersed with riffles and lovely holding water. This is a great stream to learn how to fly fish on or even take your skills to the next level. We limit this stream to 2 anglers fishing at a time, but we can accommodate larger groups if all anglers are in the same party. Call us at 434-977-6882 to book your spot today.

Big Bend Farm

CLICK HERE FOR THE BOOKING CALENDAR **On the calendar the number of rods listed refers to the number currently booked with a limit of 5 per day.


Big Bend is not your typical little Virginia trout stream. These are big fish in big water, much like your streams out west. Hiring a guide will ensure you learn the water quickly and get the most out of fishing this truly unique fly water. Guided fly fishing gives you the edge for your day on the water.


For fly fishing in Virginia, its hard to beat Big Bend Farm. This private trout water is managed to provide the highest quality experience for anglers in terms of both size and quantity of fish. Big Bend Farm will hold trophy rainbow trout and Brown Trout up to 24″ with most fish running 18″ to 20″. Anglers can expect many fish per day depending on environmental factors and the skill of the angler. Fly Fishing Guides are available but fly fishing IS allowed without a fishing guide as well. Please book at least a month in advance to assure your spot since this water is limited to only 5 anglers per day to assure a quality fly fishing experience. Big Bend Farm is located on the Cowpasture river. A mile and a half of water is open and stocked with about 1500 pounds of rainbow and brown trout with numerous runs, riffles, and pools. This is a beautiful and unspoiled property on very quality water which promises lots of fish in a natural, private setting. The season at Big Bend Farm will run from mid September until the end of May. Please call to make your reservations. 434.977.6882. There is also a nice cabin available for rent on the property.
