Beau Beasley is just as likely to chase smallies on the New River as he
is to track brook trout in the cold mountain streams of the Old
Dominion. His father introduced him to farm pond fishing as a child, but
he's equally happy to pursue stripers in the Chesapeake Bay or follow
the early spring shad migrations across Virginia, fly rod in hand. Beau
began writing in the mid 1990s and has been published in Fly Fisherman,
Fly Rod & Reel, American Angler, Mid-Atlantic Fly Fishing Guide,
Virginia Wildlife, Flyfisher, Fly Tyer, Chesapeake Angler, Richmond
Magazine, Virginia Living, and Virginia Sportsman. He is a contributing
editor for Fly Fish America and the Mid-Atlantic field editor for
Eastern Fly Fishing. In addition to writing, Beau is the director of the
annual Virginia Fly Fishing Festival and is a 25-year veteran career
captain with Fairfax County Fire and Rescue Department assigned to
Engine Company 427. His first book, Fly Fishing Virginia: A No Nonsense
Guide to Top Waters, was released in May 2007 and is in bookstores
throughout the country. He lives with his wife and children in
Warrenton, Virginia. King Montgomery is an outdoors & travel writer
and photographer, a retired US Army officer, and has a B. S. degree in
fisheries biology. He is a Contributing Editor and Mid-Atlantic Regional
Editor for Fly Fish America magazine. King is the Outdoors Editor of
PressBox Sports Newspaper (Baltimore, MD), and is a contributor to Fly
Fisherman, Virginia Wildlife, American Angler, Fly Tyer, Blue Ridge
Country, Gaff, New Jersey Angler, Chesapeake Angler Magazine, Eastern
