Half Day Shenandoah Fishing Rentals
Tackle a Quick Fishing Trip on the Shenandoah River
Hit the river for a few hours with our convenient Shenandoah River fishing trips. The shorter mileage is perfect to get some early morning or late day searching in for that lunker. Experienced anglers can catch 20 to 30 smallmouth bass on average on these sections. As always, our short trips are recommended for those that want to spend less time paddling and more time fishing.
As with all our trips it’s not the amount of time you take to complete your trip, it’s the mileage. Customers are allowed to complete their trip at their leisure within our hours of operation.
- Please visit the River Conditions page for trip selection guidance.
