Escatawba Farms
Escatawba Farms is a barbless, catch & release stream. The fishing season runs from Sept 21 - June 21
"If you didn't know better, you'd think someone had stolen a piece of Montana and smuggled it here, to Escatawba Farms...."
"Escatawba" is the Native American Word for "Clear, running water." That's exactly what you will find here, and with it, spectacular, world Class fly fishing."
Great fishing and perfect solitude go hand in hand, and that's exactly what you'll
find at Escatawba.

| Dear Friends,
We hope that this finds you well, perhaps just coming from sitting by a crackling fire, or maybe from your fly tying bench, or maybe the easy chair reading a fishing magazine and dreaming of warm days gone by. In any case, its not time to put the gear up just yet......but then again, is it ever?
We are currently offering our last hosted group trip of 2007 this month at Escatawba Farms, and we still have a little space for those who might be interested. It should be a great trip. If it sounds appealing, read on!!!!!! |

Does Montana know about this?....
Escatawba Farms a treat for anglers
 The word 'Escatawba' means "clear, running water"......and beautiful rainbow trout, of course. Escatawba Farms sits on a pristine section of Dunlap Creek, nestled in the Alleghany Mountains of Virginia. Cool, pure, gin-clear water runs through the two mile stretch of this freestone tributary to the famed Jackson River. Five separate springs combine to maintain the year round flow of crystalline water. With numerous pools and riffles, this stream offers challenges to anglers of all skill levels and ages.
Here you'll find an abundance of rainbow trout, as well as some notable browns. Beautiful rainbow trout, some up to 24 inches in length, and browns up to that size as well. Dunlap Creek is perfectly suited to both dry fly and nymph fishing. The number of rods on the stream are limited to 8 for comfortable angling. Of course, that is easy to achieve in this tranquil setting. In addition, Escatawba boasts three spring fed ponds for stillwater enthusiasts. Come experience the best fly fishing in Virginia....... our next outing December 12, 2007 . To sign up contact us at jeff@jeffreywilkinsflyfishing.com , or go to the purchase tab below. |

Best "Escafish" of 2007
During the annual PCI Fishing Event at Escatawba there were some great fish caught. On day two of the event, one of the largest fish we have ever caught at Escatawba was landed by Greg Crawford (getting some support from his teammate Woody Cranford). It was nice fish, more impressive was it was landed on 6X and a size 20 Jeff's rojo midge. Greg fought the fish, played it perfectly, as it took about 10 minutes to bring to the net. A heavy fish, I guesstimated it to weigh about 6-7lbs.
Rainbows too......
