Day Trips

We have unrivaled private access to the trophy trout waters of Beaver Creek, located just outside of Harrisonburg, VA. Beaver Creek is considered the best fishery in the state for large rainbow ands brook trout and we have exclusive rights to nearly one mile of private water.

We also fish secluded public waters throughout the Shenandoah Valley, to include Mossy Creek, Spring Creek, the North River (Delayed Harvest), the Dry River, Ramsey's Draft, the Jackson River, the Shenandoah River, and various waters in the Shenandoah National Park. In these streams, you will find plentiful native and stocked fish, to include rainbow trout, brown trout, brook trout, and smallmouth bass.

Whether you are a novice or an experienced angler, our guides will provide support in your quest for trophy fish.

Backcountry Expeditions

Cool Water Outfitters is excited to offer the first Western-style, backcountry fishing and horseback riding expedition in the Eastern U.S. in over 30 years! We have exclusive access to pristine backcountry waters on Shavers Fork of the Cheat River in West Virginia’s Monongahela National Forest (access limited to hike-in and horseback only). Our season starts in early spring when the fishing for big brookies and rainbows is hot, and runs through June when the dry fly fishing is at its peak.

We also offer overnight, guided fishing trips on Beaver Creek, a world-class stream located near Harrisonburg, VA, that produces unparalleled numbers of trophy trout.

Cool Water Ranch

A Private Trophy Trout Stream in the Shenandoah Valley

Cool Water Outfitters is excited to announce the opening of Cool Water Ranch, a private family farm that features nearly two miles of Cedar Creek, a trophy rainbow and brook trout fishery.

Cool Water Ranch is self-guided, fly-fishing and catch-and-release only. We are stewards of these pristine waters, and strive to create the healthiest possible environment for the trout. We limit the stream to 5 rods per day to assure uncrowded water and a relaxing, private day on the stream.

Cool Water Ranch is located just outside of Winchester, Virginia, just one hour outside of Washington, D.C.
