Virginia Fly fishing Festival
Platinum & Gold Tier Sponsors:

The Virginia Fly Fishing Festival is proud to announce that Hanover Fly Fishers, Ltd. (www.hanoverfly.com) will join us as a major sponsor of the 12th annual Virginia Fly Fishing Festival. Harry Robertson, international guide and owner of Hanover Fly Fishers, is well known throughout the Mid-Atlantic not only for his fly fishing prowess but also for his outstanding artwork, some of which hangs in private galleries throughout the country and in the Canadian Embassy.

Throughout the year Harry Robertson may be found fishing in Africa, Australia, New Guinea, Costa Rica, or South America. When not globe-trotting with clients overseas, he often makes trips to Montana and Louisiana—and he admits that he has a soft spot for Alaska. His years of destination fishing experience have earned him a rock-solid reputation as a purveyor of extraordinary guided trips.

“I’ve fished all over the world,” says Robertson, “but you’d have to look long and hard to find a better operation in Alaska than Alagnak Lodge (www.alagnaklodge.com). Some of my customers have been known to fish until their arms ache. Whatever you’re looking for here, you can find it: all five species of salmon; heavy, aggressive trout; and beautiful grayling.”

The lodge overlooks the Alagnak River, which sees millions of king, sockeye, silver, pink, and chum salmon swim within a stone’s throw of the lodge each season. Whereas guests at many other Alaskan lodges will spend hours each day flying to remote locations to fish, our Grand Prize winners will sleep in, awaken to a full breakfast, and be fishing within moments of leaving the Alagnak Lodge.

When he’s not traveling, Robertson may be found giving private casting lessons to clients on his custom-made casting pond and showroom just outside of Richmond, Virginia. To learn more about Hanover Fly Fishers, Ltd. or to discuss your next trip, contact Hanover Fly Fishers at 804-537-5036, or visit www.hanoverfly.com.
