Discover Fishing In Virginia with Beau Beasley, and his most recent book.
More About Our March Presenter, Beau Beasley.
Beau Beasley has fished the waters of the Old Dominion since early childhood and knows them as only a native can. His insider’s knowledge of Virginia ranges from the mountain brook trout streams of the Shenandoah National Park to the salty windswept shores of the Chesapeake Bay. Although he’s pursued trout on Montana’s Bighorn River, landed every species of salmon in Alaska, and successfully brought to hand five-pound brook trout in Labrador, his first love is still fishing poppers on a Virginia farm pond.
Beau has garnered multiple awards for his articles on the conservation of diverse species such as menhaden and bonefish. He has distinguished himself as a thorough, impartial investigative journalist who covers thorny issues like public sporting access to local waters and lands. His writing has appeared in numerous regional and national publications. Beau serves as the Director of the Virginia Fly Fishing & Wine Festival and the Texas Fly Fishing & Brew Festival.
