Who we are

At Vandalia Outfitters, fishing isn’t just something we do — it’s who we are.

Nestled in the heart of New River Gorge National Park and Preserve, we’re proud to be West Virginia’s premier fishing outfitter, offering unforgettable experiences on some of the most scenic and productive waters in Appalachia.

Born from a deep respect for the outdoors and a passion for sharing it, Vandalia Outfitters was created to give anglers of every skill level access to world-class fishing, local expertise, and genuine mountain hospitality. Whether you’re casting your first line or chasing your next trophy catch, our guides bring generations of knowledge, patience, and river wisdom to every trip.

We specialize in guided fishing adventures throughout the New River Gorge, where crystal-clear waters wind through towering sandstone cliffs and forested ridgelines. From smallmouth bass to seasonal favorites, we know where the fish are — and how to help you land them.

But what truly sets us apart is our commitment to experience. We don’t rush trips. We don’t cut corners. We focus on connection — to the river, to the land, and to the moment. Every outing is designed to be relaxed, personalized, and memorable, whether you’re here for a few hours or building a full Gorge getaway.

Vandalia Outfitters is about more than fishing. It’s about slowing down, breathing mountain air, telling stories on the riverbank, and creating memories that last long after the lines are reeled in.

Come fish with us — and discover why the New River Gorge isn’t just a destination.

It’s a way of life.
